Barcelona?

Sorry, my bad, forgot that they are not going to Barcelona this year for testing.

I correct my statement to second Bahrain test.

 

[Shin-Ra]

I google image searched nu nu teletubbies for an appropriate vacuum picture and wish I hadn't now.

 

[Hasney]

Christ, I haven't minded any of the cars so far even though I thought I was going to hate them, but that Ferrari is hideous.

[ramparter]

As much as I would love to make fan of Ferrari for this ugly mess, I feel sorry for all the teams this year. And I really hate FIA right now. I hope all this mess is just temporary.

Sounds a bit throatier than I was expecting.

Hmm, that's not nearly as impressive as the Merc was.

 

[cmr-94]

I love the background whistle. tbh I'm happy with it

 

[Deadman]

Im hoping the driver isnt going full throttle because its just the first test run, because if that is full throttle then its not loud enough.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

I really hope that Maclaren do a better job this season.

 

[Anth1888]

Not sure if this has been posted yet (not ventured into the F1 forum but am a big fan) further speculation of the McLaren title sponsor. A report states that McLaren and Lotus are in negotiations with a major sponsor with Lotus coming in with a lower asking price.

"We only know that it is a Japanese technology company," said Schmidt.

Now, knowing the rumours that surround Sony it could be them and could be one of the reasons why McLaren still have not announced a main sponsor (or are waiting until Honda arrive). Cannot vouch for the journalist but food for thought.

Sounds nice. Love the turbo whine.

And people said they would sound like ass.

It is impossible to determine loudness from that clip, maybe you mean the pitch is to low? I actually like the angry throaty sound with background turbo whistle tbh, makes a nice change from high pitch whine we have been used to for ages now

Also not full throttle as you can hear by the down shifts, he wasn't in top gear more like 3rd or 4th

@MercedesAMGF1: Another teaser shot of the new car has been revealed on our @BBM channel. Search @MercedesAMGF1 and subscribe http://t.co/KFglWwFu4M #W05sup

For all those Blackberry users. I'm surprised that a dead company like Blackberry is still a sponsor.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

- Brawn left
- Allison to Ferrari
- Boullier to Macca?
- Whitmarsh kicked out
- Dennis back

Biggest non-driver movement in recent history?

I'm sure there are many more movements this year too that I'm missing

Sauber C33

[Big Takeover]

Interesting cut-out behind the roll hoop. Looks to be for additional cooling rather than just aero. Pretty conservative nose. Looks good.

 

[DrM]

Standard Sauber

No top-down photo. Figures.

That ugly Petronas colour ruins the whole car. Silver and sickly green already didn't go together very well, this blue doesn't look any better.

 

[Zeknurn]

I imagine that nose is what the people in charge of the regulations had in mind. Sauber has designed another good looking car.

Its the angle doing it favours, it is a finger nose similar to Scarbs' original drawing of one.

Judging that from those two pictures posted in this thread seems like an exhibition in futility.

 

[cmr-94]

Still not a fan of sauber's livery - its just boring to me

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

Looks very similar to the Williams nose solution.

I guess my standards have been lowered so much after seeing that thing Ferrari put out.

Ha, truth.

 

[Evolution_1ne]

Sweet Jesus that Ferrari

 

[Yen]

Just seen the Ferrari nose. Wow.

 

[ЯAW]

Just saw the new Ferrari... Holy shit it's uglee~
Hopefully it's at least fast.

 

[Hasney]

Loving the Sauber. I clearly just love black.

 

[dubc35]

Looks like Ferrari and Lotus might be the odd cars out, which doesn't bode well for them. Nice how Sauber left out any angle to show suspension geometry.

Maybe Ferrari got some insanely good windtunnel results with this nose.

 

[DBT85]

Sadly it's still Ferrari's wind tunnel.

 

[AcridMeat]

Sauber C33

Another fucking gray/silver car. Looks like an HRT. Design is nice at least.

 

[Goldrusher]

Jerez!

[DrM]

Looks like Williams got new transport trucks from Mercedes. Probably included in costs for new engine

 

[On The Edge of Insanity]

White livery for Marussia this year?

Weather was superb in Sevilla today, forecast is good for Tuesday, but possible rain on Wednesday and Thursday, so I'd expect teams to try and get as much running as possible in on Tuesday.

 

[Kworn]

Twin nose like Lotus

 

[h3ro]

Twin nose like Lotus

That looks like a picture of the engine cover and extended wind vane.

 

[Kworn]

Yeh...looks like the rear

The sound of this year's torro rosso.

Torro Rosso has Maranello power right? so thats a Ferrari engine?
edit: looks like they switched to a Renault engine for 2014.

 

[Zeknurn]

Renault as of this year.

 

[theignoramus]

I like the sound of Renault turbocharged power. Rather more than the sound of their V8 engine,which only seemed to have aggressive sound on downshifts.

 

[NHale]

Maybe Ferrari got some insanely good windtunnel results with this nose.

That would be a pretty good sign that it's the wrong solution.

Can't wait for May and the start of the annual "We need to overhaul the windtunnel - 2014 edition".

 

[theignoramus]

a blast from the past: Williams 03 BMW powered V10.
