The last time they spoke as friends.
Not that I know of.
If Rosberg and Hamilton who were great friends beforehand couldn't stay friends during their three years as team mates, why would Bottas and Hamilton be able to do it? I don't think any driving pairing on the grid would be able to do it if they were in a championship winning car.
A championship battle could even take the smile out of Ricciardo.
Did lewis kill your dog Zek?
The W08 is clearly more aerodynamic because it's inherently in higher resolution.

Somehow I completely forgot that Wehrlein joined Sauber.
But how? I know exactly what to expect from them and how is it my fault that they can't get their shit together?

Deleted pic as its already below!
Ahh. The perennial disappointment of Arsenal fans as they once again realise that the board don't want trophies, they just want money, and 4th does quite nicely.
Eh, Nico had spent his entire racing career being dominated by Lewis and it was clearly getting to him with some of the moves he started pulling. As I said at the time, Nico never looked like a ruthless driver like Nando or Lewis or even Danny or Max do. He only ever looked like a driver trying to be ruthless.
Bottas has never really been in a car that could move forward so he's not had that chance yet. But with no existing friendship to hold on to they can just do what they want and there will be a lot less press stuff about them trying to murder each other because of it. On top of it all, I think Bottas is as cool as a cucumber and will deal with it in his stride.
Eh, the Renault it's still my favorite looking car.
It was not about Renault.

no idea at all where you are finding all these Ferrari fans in here who are optimistic about this season, I mean brotkasten has turned pessimism about Ferrari in to an art form

Those sidepods are almost nothing. No idea how they are going to keep it cool enough with the report the 2017 engine requires more cooling.
Hamilton.
I feel excited for this season, but it seems unlikely anyone simply has caught up to Mercedes without some ingenious solution. The Mercedes workflow is brutally efficient and even Toto is downplaying the new car by referring to Brawn back in 2009.
Can Red Bull deliver a challenger? Maybe Newey gained some special powers designing boats.

Red Bull working well under extreme wet conditions confirmed.
Too bad it'll be stuck behind the safety car anyway.

This means more fuel saving measures, I fear.
They are now having 105kg of fuel to use, and most teams at most races late year were starting with under 100kg.
In large part I think any fuel saving stuff last year was down to short fuelling more than anything, but we don't get fuel numbers so we can't know for sure.
Only way to stop that would be to mandate a minimum load as well, which punishes anyone with an efficient engine.
Though this season the cars have to deal with higher loadings and more weight to shift around, while also using only 4 PUs, do if they can do it they'll be turning engines down anyway.

The base shape of the Mercedes is nice, but there's some hideous 2008-level aero fuckery going on in places.

Um... Is Stoffel crying Spainish tears in the bottom left?
Stoffel will be crying Spainish tears after Alonso is through with him.
I think it's likely that Red Bull will have a car design that is on par with, or may even have a slight edge over the Merc, but the Renault engine will let them down in closing the gap. I know Renault is said to have made good progress, but good won't cut it when Mercedes may have gotten equal or bigger performance gains on the engine. It will just be the same old shit then with the Mercs sand bagging a bit just to present the illusion of a challenge, and turning the engine up when needed. At that point you can only pray for a very rainy season.

In Newey We Trust.
Came here to post that tweet. Looking forward to his analysis.
EDIT: Having thought about it, surely that's testing apparatus?

Watch Ferrari have one tomorrow because of this, and when Australia comes Mercedes their baby wing will be gone, whilst Ferrari is gonna be struggling for the next couple of weeks to try and understand it.

McLaren are gutted. That was the one thing this year they had a chance of winning.
