Sounds like a typical Red Bull hater, if you ask me. Not sure what's wrong with them. 3 titles in a row, lalala.
I Will never understand these idiot posts hating on rbr. Ah well i Will continue getting my Joy out of the fact That They are triple world champions
You really don't understand? Or do you just dislike it when people criticize the team you support?

Is there a shot of the Ferrari like this one?
Trust me, I'm not a hater. I just don't agree with how the launch has been handled. Just my opinion
I even think Vettels truly underrated

He was trying to be funny.

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
Purple is a nice addition, car looks like a 90s raver!! haha.
I think it's just a gradient paint job from the navy blue to purple. The fact it's in the same place on the press shots kind of confirms it's not lighting based. If it was purple lighting being shone on the car, then the Infinite logo on the sidepod wouldn't be white.
Comparing the Infiniti logo and lettering on the sidepod:
On the second shot there are 3 purple lines: one at the top of the logo, one in the middle and one below the lettering. The middle and bottom line is missing on the first picture.

Newey says stepped nose. Then stepped nose = WIN

....what? The horizontal white lines are specular highlights from, you guessed it, lights. The purple paint, however, is paint.
It does look horrible though. It would look much nicer is just the entire sidepod was a solid purple (and perhaps more of the side of the nose).

That red bull looks quick.
Congratulations to red bull 2013 WD/WC champions.

As long as this season is somewhat like the previous one I won't mind. Multiple winners, championship down to the final race, ect.

I'm a fan and I don't feel even slightly disrespected that they're trying to keep some of their innovations secret.
That said, they shouldn't have had the press there if they didn't want photos taken.

Doesn't really work if it's in how the suspension or something like that is packaged, unless they cover it up.
That said, those press shots show the rear end fairly clearly so I'm guessing it's not that (the rear end on that thing is amazing though).

Yeah. While I wouldn't be too keen about Vettel winning it again, last season had some magnificent races and a great title fight, up until the second half of the season.
Some rumours going ahead regarding that air intake, roll hoop. Saying its some sort of ddrs device, the rear wing is way too shallow otherwise.New image of the Mercedes
Look at the engine intake
more of a case of thats where the garage door cut the image off when this pic was made, thats all, top of rear wing and roll hoop all cut off in a dead straight line
Hi guys,
Being here in Canada, my options for watching the races live are somewhat limited (still really unfortunate there isn't an official F1 streaming service), but I hear the BBC has pretty good streaming coverage through their website (albeit not for every race and only available to those in the UK).
I was thinking about getting some sort of VPN service so I could watch the races live, but I guess I'm just looking for confirmation from someone on how much actual live F1 race coverage is done through the BBC website. Looking at their calendar, there are a number of races that indicate the race will be live on BBC TV, but I'm not sure if that means it'll also be streamed online.
That, or if someone wants to PM somewhere else I might be able to... stream these races, that would be much appreciated. Cheers, everyone.

Sounds like Mercedes alright, fast in a straight line at least.
Step 1: Sign up for Unblock-US. They get you access to a whole bunch of sites by using a DNS thing so you don't need a separate VPN quota. You can also access Netflix, Hulu and other stuff. It also works for BBC
Step 2: Configure DNS on router.
Step 3: Create "UK" account on your PS3.
Step 4: Download BBC Sport app on PSN.
Step 5: Enjoy streaming F1 in HD on your PS3
You can also do it by just configuring the DNS on your router or PC and streaming direct from the BBC website... but it's more like actual TV when it's on PS3. And it's in HD.
Worthy of a double post:
Free GA tickets to "Heritage Day" (the Thursday) of the Melbourne Grand Prix
Chances are, if you're in this thread you're either going already or don't live in Australia, but if you have a ticket and can think of someone who might go if it's free, it might be a good time to get them into it!

STR was: Make a note in your diaries to log on to tororosso.com on Monday 4 February at around 18h00 (Central European Time.)
No idea on Mercedes or the others. Definitely curious about Mercedes, but couldn't give two shits about the teams that fall under the "others" category.
