It's cool that Ricciardo was able to get Brabs on there last minute.
Ooh that looks nice. It's much better than every other design that dumps the helmet in glitter for some dumb reason.
In flux, not in danger. Honda gives them a chance to regain sponsorship. PEACE.

Wow, freshest helmet design in ages. Finally something different. I am so sick of high gloss sparkle fleck paint with garbage tribal like markings or graffiti font.

All the helmet designs in F1 are awful, the last good one was Hill's.

I don't understand how. He offers nothing outside of a finish every race. No excitement, no fun. It's like he's a cardboard cutout.
In his defense, he's in a Marussia, not much to show off, but yeah his personality is a bit flat...
Bianchi on the other hand, goddamn he needs to get into a mid-field team and show his class !

He got that Zoolander look. So hot.
To be honest, I'm surprised we haven't seen more mentions of Brabham's passing from either any of the current F1 drivers nor the FIA/FOM. I'd have thought it's a pretty significant thing?Ricciardo's:
I haven't been paying close attention to the usual media outlets though, so maybe there has been. Still, glad to see Danny paying his respects. Hopefully he can do so with a win... last four years have been a tussle between Germany and Australia for the trophy, this year it's our turn
Pretty sure you're only thinking of Hamilton's helmets :lol

Boring. Was a clever solution if you ask me.
Dan, Dan, he's our man. If he can't do it, Hamilton... will.Except this year Webber's not around to win it

I reckon Rosberg's going to get pole at the track where it's highly unlikely you'll win if you're not on pole... and then Hamilton is going to win anyway.
I don't know much about it... fill me in?
Most likely. But do we know what the Merc will be like around tighter tracks? Is their engine more powerful across the entire power band than the Renaults, or just top end?
Mercedes engine is superior in every aspect.

New Red Bull nose with the new camera mount.
They had to replace the old camera inside the chassis, because the quality wasn't high enough for the FIA.

It used to literally be built into the nose (it's the little indentation on the right in this pic):

5 races in the season and people still doubt the W05's capabilities?

Of course it is not just the engine, been saying all along it is wrong to just assume red bull have the best aero with these regs.The Merc is 1 second faster on a track with no high speed sections. #ItsNotAllTheEngine
Nice to see Ricciardo beasting his team mate too
B..B..B...but Adrian Newey is so dreamy. He can't be out aero'd.

Lol. The w05 hybrid is a fantastic package, probably the best I've ever seen in f1. Stunning car.

Member
He hasn't been the past 4 years. I think it's okay to automatically assume that RB got the best aero package again, even if they don't.

Looking like a fair chunk less than 1 second to me.
Is it because I is black?Vettel's helmet.
That's a fine assumption to make before the season starts.
Down to about 1/4 a sec now right? not got living timing here.

Yeah, 0.235 for Danny.

Odd. Track looks sort of damp.
0.235 what?

From Hamilton's time.

Very fast. Riccardo's lap was really, really good, but he was pretty much using every inch of the track. Had me waiting for a wheel to come off.
Mercs have a lot more left in them I reckon.

Come on, it wasn't obvious at the start of the season either. It's not easy to judge the aero package, when the car is handicapped by the engine like that.
This struck me and quite interesting its from 3 win Le mans winner Allan McNish;
"Between Hamilton and Rosberg, Rosberg's inputs are more subtle, more gentle. Hamilton seems to have to work harder to get the lap time"
It seems as though Rosberg has a better set up in the car, but Hamilton is able to drag more out of his un-optimized set up. If he can find a good way like Rosberg has, the championship is done.

Hamilton has always been a hustler in the car though, Rosberg I thought was a bit more like Button with his inputs.
Hail at 300 km/h in an open car? I might spill my champagne.
