2018 F1 preseason

Post by Dino »

Obviously there is the halo.

Teams have been coming to grips with the three engine rule for 2018.

Rule for less oil use is in play too.

Livery reveals.

The halo isn't as repulsive as I expected it to be so far but I'll reserve final judgement until they are on the track. Hard to spot changes on the Williams with much of the detail being black.

I actually dislike the still present thumb noses more than the halo.

surprised to see a white halo but other than that, still the best livery on the grid.

Really nice car!
I love the "lower half in black" thing, reminds me of those 126C2, MP4/1, or Ferrari 643.
Same comlain on the thumb. Why don't they hide it with black paint too?
And, I won't comment on "that thing", hehe.

The fin thing is silly, full fin is banned for this year, back for next year...
