Adam Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 The new McLaren has a livery reminiscent of the Mild Seven Renault that Alonso won his World Titles in, just with the orange rather than yellow. I quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 From a livery perspective here's the one that matters, Toro Rosso Alpha Tauri (spoilered for size): Safe to say that's bloody lovely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Seeing Rokit plastered all over the Williams is a reminder of how lucky Williams were that Haas came in behind their backs to steal the Rich Energy "sponsorship". I don't know if we'd be seeing Williams on the grid this year if they had been the ones involved in that mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 The big news coming out of the first half hour of testing is that Alpha Tauri have taken over the white team colour icon on the official F1 graphics, with Williams moving to a medium blue. If anything else as massive as that occurs I'll let you know. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazz Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Well, the Williams is already a second quicker than it was in qualifying last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 The Renault livery is only a testing one which is a shame. Racing Point being second fastest, despite it only being testing, is raising the ire of several teams who believe their car is essentially a 2019 Mercedes painted pink.

Gazz Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Mercedes have introduced some kind of movable steering rack that allows them to adjust the toe (angle the tyres point inwards or outwards) of the front wheels, so they can have outward toe in the corners that helps with cornering and neutral toe on the straights, which lowers tyre temperature, degradation and aerodynamic resistance. The other teams are almost certainly going to protest it as 'active suspension', but there's an argument that it's the steering system, not the suspension, and that there is nothing in the rules that says you can't move the steering rack manually. If it gets through, the other teams will have to copy it to compete and I can't wait for someone to deploy it and pull their own front wheels off. I'm looking at you, Grosjean.

Chris2K Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 It's actually a ridiculously smart plan from Mercedes. They told the FIA about it weeks ago, allowing the FIA to ban it for 2021 almost immediately, therefore making it a waste of time/money for the other teams to try and copy it for 2020. Unfortunately it may mean the 2020 season is even more of a foregone conclusion than it already was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
