MCLAREN
McLaren completed so few laps in pre-season testing, that they continued testing in FP1. Note the aerodynamics "rake" attached to the chassis, so as to measure various airflows.






























TORO ROSSO












HAAS






















RENAULT














Jolyon Palmer exits the last corner during FP2

Fortunately he is unhurt




The car and debris are cleared very quickly

Esteban Ocon

A final look at the RB13, after Ricciardo's terrible race weekend finished early












Lance Stroll's stranded Williams also had to be picked up after the race


Congrats!




The cars await post-race scrutineering

Renault




















Toro Rosso


















Ferrari








Mercedes








For the race, Mercedes ran a hollow, chimney-like sharkfin, presumably to vent hot air. This was different to the thin bargeboard-like sharkfin seen in the photos from Thursday

fantastic pics - thankya for sharing!

Actually think it is a pretty good looking field of livery this year and the cars not too bad though wish they would lose the little dongle on the noses.

Whilst I am not a fan of the aero add ons I do love to see all the detail work and appreciate the effort that goes into these cars.
As always, thanks for posting your superb photos.

Pardon my ignorance, but how are you able to provide such intimate photos of these "ultra secret" cars? Do you have some kind of mega-credentials?
