The event wasn't completely pointless. That's definitely their new 2016 car, the RS16.

Looks better than that F1 Racing livery.
Mercedes reign of terror is over. Honda and Renault are back!

New Twitter name/handle/thingy:
I think if they switch the black and yellow on the car (making the car mostly yellow) but kept the matte parts on the engine black it would be a decent looking livery.

Wow I finally looked at the tweeted pic and I'm actually surprised they still have ING related livery stuff up.

Has the front floor tray always extended under the nose of the car like that or is that new?
This I agree with. It would become a blockier/modern version of the yellow jacket livery from a decade ago.
White is all the colours of visible light mixed together, black is all the colours that *reflect* light mixed together. Key difference.
Nah, Renault has a lot more sponsors.
I'm not sure why you would reveal a livery to only say it will change. Maybe just a glorified media event and they wanted to roll the car out.
Time will tell.
Finally.
You can't have a sport that is based on technical competition at at the same time massively hinder said development to cut costs.

WOHOOO! That seriously made my day.
(Granted, I'm having a particularly crappy day, and that was the first thing to actually make me smile...wohoo!)

I take it that means the parts penalties are still in place? makes it a lot more straightforward.

You can hope. 2017 was the year they were shooting for the "5 second improvement", but most of the changes made to reach that goal will be in the tires, and even Pirelli is skeptical that their tires would even be able to make that much of an improvement. New aero regulations to improve downforce would certainly be required, but no indication what the new regulations would be, at least that I've heard. Willing to bet the new cockpits will be in place by 2017 as well, although believe the FIA is going for the Mercedes "Halo" design instead of a closed cockpit, which really would have been something.

Awful presenter Steve Jones will be the presenter of C4 F1 according to Digital Spy.
Infiniti Renault? Did I miss something?
It's a Renault-Nissan brand.
Yisssss
Also who manufactures always pick the same colours? You would think you would want your car to standout?

With their stupid 4-engine-per-season rules, nobody would run more than they do now because their engines would be death by Malaysia.

That renault livery is disappointingly safe, although still better than half the track.
I miss yellow Renaults though..

I don't think he's too bad, but I will say that the stuff I've seen him in required him to be a little bit tongue-in-cheek. Playing it straight will be different.
Well, unless it means the other Steve Jones, who among other things was the host of the short-lived UK version of Jeopardy!.
That was awesome.
How does he have a chip on his shoulder? He definitely deserves a second shot at F1. Maybe he's cooled down a bit.

Michael Schumacher: news of F1 legends health not good, says former Ferrari boss
Doesn't go into detail.

I wouldn't really qualify that as a 'chip on the shoulder' myself, but I'm just glad new talent is getting another chance.
I don't think good news is ever going to come out for Michael. I hope I'm wrong but given the amount of time and (perceived) lack of progress the future doesn't look optimistic. Again, I hope I'm wrong and he can recover; keep fighting Michael!

I don't think any major news will be posted about his health by his PR people or by his family until the inevitable thing happens... It's their wish and people like di Montezemolo should respect that even if the general public wants to know more.
