The end of these stupid, high, narrow, toyish rear wings? Yes!

MMmmmm yess

I'd like to see a large simplification of the front wings, personally, and I'm also not keen on the apparent increase in barge board size, but otherwise they seem to be on the right track.

Me too on the front wings. Too complex now so any small touch ruins their air flow and they rush to change it.

But the lower, wider, longer cars are interesting. It will make tracks seem more crowded with the larger cars.
 
Shit, really ? That's the design for 2017 ?
Sign me the fuck up !!
I'm hyped, it looks so much better.

Now get rid of DRS please :P
 
@pirellisport: Asphalt temperature today at #HungarianGP was an incredible 59 degrees: that's the hottest we've seen anywhere for two years. #F1

Combined with the fact that it was just pouring down should make for an interesting weekened.
 
They should give these cars the grippiest tires mankind can build and reduce areo complexity to a minimum. Add electronically controlled suspension if tires alone are not enough.
 
I like the view from the front, but from the side it would be better if the rear wing was less slanted.

Definitely an improvement in any case.
 
Narrow track and grooved tires? Off with his head! :P
The '98 cars still look better than what we have today.

Yep. Absolutely love the look of 1997 cars, but 1998 is still so much better than current mess.

Love it, except for the bent "italic" rear wing. It looks cheeky as the A1 GP cars's rear wings. :P

It looks like they are trying too hard to look cool.

Man, I miss some yellow on the grid. Enough with these boring corporative colors. I want shining cars.

About the current cars, I believe that they wold look amazing with a 20cm wider and 10 cm lower rear wings. They aren't fugly as the 2009 cars.

Atrocious. Disgusting, actually.
 
We might be in for some fun at Williams: according to Tobias Greuner they've put together a front wing package for Hungary based on Mercedes' wing but there's only one copy - which will go to Bottas because of the WDC standings.

which British Grand Prix was it where we had all the Red Bull fun? 2010?

Interesting indeed. Wonder if it gives them the downforce they need to hang with Mercedes on tracks that aren't completely speed based.
 
Nearly drowned on the pit walk. Button didn't show up either. :(

Got to speak to some of the McLaren mechanics though, which was cool. They were definitely trying to hide some stuff on the front of the car.

Oh, and I met scarbs... and I had no idea who he was as I only know his voice, not what he looks like. lol!
 
Plus he does not want to piss off Williams now that he is most likely set to remain with them for next season.

As I've said a few days ago, the deal is already done: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=172211783&postcount=9985

Giving it to Bottas is a strange decision. They aren't fighting for the title, they're just three points apart, and Massa is a much more experienced driver, and probably more capable to give a better feedback to the team.
 
Listening to Sky and they got an interview coming up where Pat Symmonds admits they fucked up by telling Bottas to stay put behind Massa for three laps while they scrambled to figure out what to do.
 
Américo Teixeira, a very serious and well informed Brazilian journalist said that Nasr won't go to Williams next year. It's not commercially interesting for Williams to have two drivers from the same country, and he has a 2 year contract with Sauber, where Banco do Brasil specifies that their sponsorship deal is up only if Nasr drives for the team. So unless something big happens, Nasr will stay at Sauber.

Commentators everywhere breathe a sigh of relief.
 
Car was sliding sideways and front wheel got caught beneath the car, so it flipped over.

Perez said that he did not experience any failure and blames dirty artificial grass
 
Is there any reason Williams wouldn't take the punt on Alex Lynn for the drive? I can't really see them replacing him with Button when Massa is also likely so close to the end of his time in F1.

Stranger things have happened though.

He probably didn't feel it, because you could see the wheel snap to the inside on the slow motion footage.

I can imagine it now, Lynn and Rossi with a drive in F1 and Vandoorne nothing. -_-
 
Williams' lack of downforce fails them again, sigh. It is amusing how they tend to swap places with Red Bull depending on the track demands.

It's only practice, Williams cars are always sandbagging on Friday and Saturday morning. They were slower than Ferrari and Toro Rosso at Silverstone in FP3, but beat them handily when qualifying came.
 
Just had a thought about the brushing up of debris after a crash. Why aren't they using cordless garden vacs? Still use brushes for the dirt but I'm sure a garden vac could suck up the big pieces of carbon.

Except for the rear wings everything else was great in 2009, loved how the cars were simpler without all these attachments.
