Name and logo of the Ferrari.

imagine the F is an H and remove the 5

now it's accurate

 

[Zeknurn]

The Lotus looks like a lower Formula car.

Yeah, something looks off. Did they get the scale wrong?


The livery is nice though.

 

[Addnan]

Are Lotus going to Jerez this year?

Seems like it.

MP4-30 fired up for the first time today.

 

[DD]

That Lotus nose reminds me a little of the WSR car:

Lucas di Grassi karting on ice.

EDIT:

Scarbs outlines what the future could hold for the Formula E series technologically. Changes could include: Season 2 - active braking. Season 3 - more powerful battery and motor. Season 4 - 4 wheel drive. Season 5 - moveable aerodynamics.

Different year, different car. I really don't know why it would raise questions if Kimi fares better this year. He is not as bad driver as the results last year showed. The car just didn't suit him at all. Not to mention Vettel had some similar problems as Kimi last year.[/QUOTE

I disagree.
If both drivers cannot adapt to the 'new' formula 1, serious questions will be asked about them.
Its not that the other guys were better suited to the cars. Fry said that Alonso was suffering from the same problems as Kimi, he was just getting on with it.
Vettel needs to be spectular against him this year.

 

[ElTorro]

That triple intake on the Lotus' rollbar looks ... interesting.

 

[Ark]

Looks like one of those hole-phobia things. Can't remember what they're called now.

 

[Psychotext]

Trypophobia

 

[DBT85]

The lotus doesn't have a extra bit on the nose tip like the Williams and Force India.

Lotus cooling is likely needing to be quite different form last year because they've swapped engines.

 

[Mastah]

 

[Risgroo]

Give that suit some colour, please.

 

[nature boy]

Santander gone? Hmmm....

 

[Dilly]

Ron Dennis is allowing a beard?

 

[Aiii]

Alonso looks like crap. I pity the guy who has to photoshop out those bags under his eyes.

 

[jey_16]

Santander gone? Hmmm....

Well with Botin dying, they might have cut back on sponsorship. He was the main reason for their formula 1 sponsorship

That pic has to be a placeholder, can't imagine Mclaren going into this season with less sponsors unless Ron really screwed up

 

[brotkasten]

Ron Dennis is allowing a beard?

Does he have a choice?

 

[Mastah]

Seems like it.

Correction: I tweeted yesterday about Lotus & Force India test with 2014 spec Merc engine. Not true. Lotus will get the 2015 parts. Sorry.

Well that's the rumor going around (Santander leaving F1) but the timeframe was far from clear. Don't think they will leave Ferrari though.

Aren't the German and British GPs sponsored by Santander?

I think Ron is playing hardball with the value of Mclaren and sponsors don't like it. Honda must be the sugar daddy paying for a lot of stuff.

 

[DD]

 

[paskowitz]

What are the dates for the rest of the reveals?

 

[Ark]

29th for Mclaren-Honda, and everyone else will be on the 1st at Jerez.

 

[Goldrusher]

Not anymore, it seems.

F1 Testing Live Blog on NeoGAF? I didn't expect that!

 

[Psychotext]

Ha, very cool.

 

[DrM]

Looks like Force India will be the last of Mercedes powered teams with 2015 version of engine. Mercedes, Williams and Lotus will be running the new one from first test onwards and there are some hints that Mercedes powered teams will share data during test period.

I thought Lotus were running Jerez with the 2014 package?

They denied that.

Why did you black out NeoGAF as the media affiliation? :p

Very cool, have fun!

 

[Scottify]

I gotta admit. I like seeing the Honda logo back in F1. I hope they're successful and stick around for awhile.

 

[dubc35]

I want to see an "Advertise Here!" or something on the front of his suit, lol.

Sauber will present their car online at 10:00 Swiss time on the 30th. https://twitter.com/f1fanatic_co_uk/status/560102986119385088

Why bother with the last black bars? We all know it says "Juicy Bob".

(And is accreditated a word? And not, say, accredited?)

 

[DrM]

Looks like Ferrari will have a flatter nose variant, like we saw on Marussia wind tunnel model.

Also, first part of Mercedes documentary is up on UBS.com

 

[Ruruja]

ANCIENT Petrol Station.

I'm sorry to do this, but I'm pretty excited...

ancient petrol station? what kind of description is that? smells fishy.

Ancient Petrol Station!

I bet Sauber. No point in showing up for the first test if they haven't been able to develop the car.

 

[NHale]

I'm going with Red Bull considering they only finished the design of the car this week.

Well, there is a mistake for us (Slovenia), because we must pay 12 € each month for national tv subscription (mandatory for all houses with electricity). We mostly watch it on ORF, because commentators are much better than our beloved mr. Ališič (sunbathing in Spa 2012)

 

[Juicy Bob]

Yeah, the ancient petrol station in hilarious. It's literally an old gas station which they turn into a makeshift office during events at the circuit.

If you drive past it when there's no one there, it looks like something right out of Scooby Doo...

Well shit. As disappointed as I am that we get ad-riddled Sky coverage with the annoying-as-shit Aussie presenters, I certainly won't complain

Not entirely accurate, you can get Sport1 in the Netherlands through cable for 15 a month, totaling the 150 for the ten months F1 is on, sure (it's actually 9 months, so 135 a year). But you can also subscribe to the internet for 10 a month, so 90 a year is what is the actual cost.
