I think that's Perez or some sort of Alonso/Perez Hybrid.
A Fish Aficionado
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Why do they all look derpy?No love for Alonso or Raikkonen.
Nevermind, I was only looking at the faces. ;p

Because someone decided to light them too evenly from both sides.
Damn I new something was very off, but I couldn't put a finger on it. It looks really weird. Especially Checo.
[edit] Sauber and Willams the only teams not represented on the cover (TR if you count VES as RB)

Not that anyone will be surprised, but it's looking like being Button's final year in F1.

Seems like the right time to leave.
I really doubt he'll ever have a shot at a title again. Even winning races seems unlikely, given McHonda's situation and that of any team that could take him in (Williams?).
I would say the same to Alonso (and by age, Räikkönen), but at that level every year still nets you a lot of money for retirement, so I'd understand wanting to stay even if there's no bright future ahead.
I like Button, but it's time to move on.
Meanwhile, Tom Coronel (not to be confused with his identical twin brother Tim) derp - http://www.motorsport.com/wtcc/news...hone-during-qualifying-at-nurburgring-741044/

It sucks him and Alonso wasted valuable years late in their careers. One has to go to make room for Stoff though.
Go tear up WEC.
AMuS is reporting a slightly enhanced version of Ferrari's halo concept is coming in 2017 and then, in 2018 they'll switch to a modified version of Red Bull's aero screen concept, with the eventual goal of a fully closed cockpit.
Other teams feared Red Bull might have an advantage if the aero screen were to be introduced next year, hence they decided on the halo as an intermediate step. So, get ready for this abomination next year :/

Ffs, this is one of those areas where the bloody democracy of the F1 rules is bloody stupid. This is the lid you're using, don't like it? Feck off. No ifs no buts no coconuts.

There's a very irrational fear on behalf of the FIA of Ferrari "pulling out" of F1 if they feel threatened, i believe is BS but alas Ferrari pulled their weight around to get that Halo concept to be accepted, I still think RBR is going to beat them in the championship this year "for sure"
In Nice, about to head over for FP3.
Got seats above St Devote!
Nice, you will have a good view at opening lap carnage on sunday.

No Williams is actually understable (not necessarily acceptable
), because of the low PEGI/ESRB rating they can't show the Martini colors (if I remember right Massa didn't have them on the last year's cover). The car will probably also again lack the Martini livery.In Nice, about to head over for FP3.

If you see Verstappen following Grosjean make sure to take cover.

RIP F1 popularity. This will be the final nail in the coffin.
At least the tyres will be wider next year

Nice, love the aggressive look... now just imagine an ugly-ass Halo on top of that!

Looks great but you have towonder how much extra time its actually going to take off lap times and how many are going to get clipped on others because of the extra width.

I think the drama about the halo is overblown.
If F1 can survive a season of (literal) penis noses, it will survive a season of a shittier looking head protection to potentially save a driver's life.

hard to tell, but I'm sure people aren't serious when they declare F1 dead over a safety precaution.
But it didn't need to have it look so shit. If Force India had suggested it they would have all adopted it with no issue, but because its RB, they must have some sneaky advantage so no fuck that, lets ruin the look of the cars in the year where they actually start to look a bit better.
According to the BBC the RB screen didn't do well in recent tests so that's why it was put off till next year.

Fuck you F1.
Fuck you and your shitty fucking halo.
This sport is an absolute joke. Laughing stock of motor racing without a shadow of a doubt.
Edit: In lighter news, Clair Williams is hot. I dunno what it is about her but yeah, she seems cool.

You never know!
Of course it didn't have to look so bad, but that's how politics in this sport works. And yes, fuck Ferrari for their paranoia. It's not like they'd be able to beat Red Bull either way.
But what I'm saying is that the halo won't make the racing and the sport any less enjoyable for me. It's an ugly thing that we're going to have to deal with for a season, but with a good reason. Think of it as braces on F1 cars. They're ugly, uncomfortable and no one wants to look at it, but it's only for a short period of time and the positives outweigh the negatives.
Im saying that as someone who never had to wear them, so please excuse my shitty analogy
Not that big of a difference.
I wonder who makes that Pirelli test car and how fast it is
It's one of the old Marussia cars iirc. They bought it when everything had to go.

It's doesn't really matter how fast it is, because it won't get very far.
Maldonado is their test driver
