While I still think silver would look better, I missed that the car is bare carbon, as that didn't really show through in the release shots https://www.formula1.com/en/la...9RYTEbMyBpE4g61.html

And, finally, the Alpine breaks cover, with 2 liveries. I actually don't think the all pink looks too bad with the bare carbon mixed in. Probably a temp livery for the first couple rounds, like last year. https://www.formula1.com/en/la...9wjhDWPkeuFPTvB.html The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Hope it's not going to be a cakewalk for Red Bull again. Last year's season was a return to 'pretty boring' racing, even if there were moments of fleeting interest. But those were far between and oh so few. This year I admit that I'm more interested with WEC, IMSA and the Hypercar classes. Porsche vs Ferrari vs Toyota vs Acura vs Cadillac vs Peugeot vs Aston Martin vs everyone else. Penske will compete. F1 oldies like Jacques Villeneuve will be back in competition. Admittedly endurance racing doesn't make for great television like a short F1 race does, but I'm ancient enough to remember the first Porsche vs Ferrari wars and Can-Am and Wide World of Sports, and it's great to see road car manufacturers getting serious about these series. Would love to see the Rolex 24 return to international prominence. Same with the Sebring 12 Hr. And a day's worth of intrigue and heartache at La Sarthe. Especially if Red Bull and Y U Mad Max walks all over everyone else again in F1. -MG | |||

Hopefully Ferrari has the PU reliability sorted & Leclerc will be in the mix, and that puts Alfa in the midfield fight more consistently. Remains to be seen if the porpoising is under control from the start. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Saw teams already questioning Ferrari's S-Duct design. That didn't take long. Link You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

We have cars on track!! I have to admit, I still dislike the MB in any color other than silver, but the bare carbon does look fantastic The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Guessing that's a one-off & not his full-season lid. Pretty funny nonetheless. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
Mclaren not looking too good right now and already making excuses. Although testing times are often meaningless, they've been trying to lower expectations since they arrived. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

We'll see how it all shakes out next week, but looking like the usual at the front with Aston, Haas & Alfa looking promising in the midfield. Bottas' time [on the M tire] today was good for 3rd & only 3 10ths off last year's pole position time.This message has been edited. Last edited by: P250UA5, The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Casuistic Thinker and Daoist |
With Aston's history of Pink Merc and Green Bull, I'm glad to see that they are showing up well and likely to move up into the mid-field with a car which seems to blend RB floor and Ferrari sidepod design philosophy. I'm not a fan of Stroll, but I really hope Alonzo has a good year. Williams looks very promising in the early going...I'm thinking the extra windtunnel and CFD time helped. Must be nice to be able finally to reach the spending cap. It looks like Albon and Sargeant are going to be a good match and pushing each other No, Daoism isn't a religion | |||

The real question to be answered next weekend is Alpine. They are all sorts of optimistic but the car looks like it's difficult to drive and hasn't been particularly fast. I hope the Aston and Haas speed holds up and they aren't just over-promising. No idea what's going on at McLaren. Riccardo may be better off not being there and collecting his check while waiting and hoping for a way back next year. I'd like to see him get a little seat time in testing at least. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

I swear I had something for this |
Looks like Spain is getting rid of that awful chicane at the last corner and going back to the original configuration: https://www.formula1.com/en/la...7eOlAJbBtu56PHE.html | |||

I am an Alonso fan. I hope he has the car to do well. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
