>that livery

First for good sounding cars

rip

youtube.com/watch?v=0mHkfCmoMVs

>My sorted personal life gives me strength.

These cars look immense viewed front on or from the rear but like pee from the side.

Angled rear wing endplates look dumb and spec series. Should have kept them straight but wide and low.

>not posting the better one

>Should have

>Implying FIA can enhance something without fucking shit up elsewhere

>I prefer the turbo's sound.

stop with this retro shit

>that livery

>not using this

>those gear shifts

Fuck ferrari and Schumacher for killing the V10 era with your OP car

black is ugly af

Well he doesn't have to spend time sperging out trying to fuck bitches because he has a wife who is still a solid 8-9/10 whereas Hamilton has to go full nigga and spend all this time getting various chicks to fuck him

I mean its probably not that much effort because he's a famous millionaire but still

>he has a wife who is still a solid 8-9/10
Come on, senpai.

Scores so far (out of 5):
>Sauber - 3.82
>Renault - 3.45

>getting stuck with a 6/10 is better than fucking whores all day every day

nah

And that is not even taking into consideration the fact that Emilia will leave him after she realizes Bottas is the number 2.

>black spreading over the blue and yellow triggers Sweden
really makes me think and other pol memes

that nose is literally worse than 2014 Caterham and 2012 Ferrari

alright, who the fucked voted 5?

lrn2aero

How is sauber better than Reanult?

d r o p p e d

>2014 Caterham
I don't think so binland.

I think so Villeneuve

Caterham gets redeemed anyway because of the second spec nose

>According to Force India the 2017 Mercedes PU will produce more power than originally projected. And it needs more air than in 2016.

And keep in mind that there is open development this year. Even with all the aero gains, there is no chance Red Bull will challenge Mercedes. They will be getting 1200bhp before Spain

>Renault expect to be 3-5 seconds faster, 0.3 seconds from the engine
>Force India and everyone else expect to be 4-6 seconds faster, more than 0.3 seconds from the engine

RIP Ded Bull

I was hyped for the 2014 Caterham. I convinced myself that a nose that crazy could only be due to them having found a loophole, and I expected them to be decent in the first few races because of it. Then it turned out to be shit and they got rid of it. I was very sad, but I should have known better.

I miss Caterham so much

if I remember right the updated nose was only for asthetics, it didn't bring any aero improvement

the rest of the Caterham was awful anyway so they were bound to be shit

youtube.com/watch?v=EixDrunQKa0&feature=youtu.be
I was afraid that car would look worse on track but it still looks great. Don't even mind the shark fin, but that's probably just because Saubers version looks great compared to the atrocious Force India one.

Feel kinda stupid for not realizing that the car numbers were missing in the photos they released. The spot of blue on the sides makes much more sense now.

Gotta be Pajeet or that other indian lad.

>d r o p p e d
Just like Nasr?

Is manor still here for 2017? I have not been following F1 too much this last year, I started to become more of a /cyc/ fag.

Why have we not seen a painted floor yet on any livery ever? I feel like it's an untapped design area that could be used for more than just being blacked with a couple of stickers.

Nope, they folded in December and released their work-in-progress model like a month ago

Nope. They went in to administration and refused a $27m USD buyout from Tavo Hellmund just recently, they're fucking done. They did however show pictures of their 2017 wind tunnel model.

ahh thats such a shame, that front wing is primitive as fuck though.

they probably had a better one designed but didn't have the money to manufacture it

Not as primitive as you might think, that picture doesn't show all of the elements. Their idea was push air to the inside of the tires instead of around them on the outside.

That's what those L shaped inner elements are for I do believe.

I dont know man, thats like half the amount of winglets on the new foreskindia. Its pretty funny to look back at cars from 2013 or so, and especially 2009, to see how ridiculous the front wings have gotten now. I bet teams need to shell out a ton of money this season to replace front wings.

I would like to see their livery design on the 2017 car.
I liked the looks of the last one.

No, which means 2 less cars into the first corner. Shame.

Wasn't me m8. I've been in lectures all morning

Hamilton helmet design winner confirmed

>tfw /F1/ has new material to shitpost/banter on

...

...

...

...

who's this handsome alcoholic


the video feels really good. The car looks nice in motion and finally that familiar (shitty) noise of a race car runnings (lots of) fuel. Keep me updates, Lars.

I didnt like the gold before, but in natural light it looks much better.

That is fucking amazing

>swiss car
>gold

sponsor livery f a m

>swiss car
>doesn't have money to pay the bills

shark fins are a thing again?

aw fuk bye

...

Not enough Parmalat on that Sauber.

What did they mean by this?

wtf is that photo real?

B L E A C H E D

TBQH, I like the ForeSkindia... and the team is nice

Much better than the flag ones, lots of sponsors, THICC and DICC.

Based VJ rising the Frenchman. Fin is a bit big and the step is meh, but they'll be doing it for speed...

Truly OUR BOYS

whoa that looks awesome

Why does this remind me of those early 90s Tyrell cars?

Valterri has gotten already the psychological advantages, Lewis is fucking finished after this year and will do a Jaques Villeneuve to his career.

unbelieveably underrated

no but this one is

>and the team is nice
WRONG

how so?

Now THIS is a high quality shitpost

...

owned by a tax dodging fraudulent egomaniacal scumbag with a terrible haircut who's gone into hiding in the uk to avoid being extradited to india, the co-owner is in prison for fraud and not paying ~$10billion, their liveries and social media are always shit (their idea of livery design is literally "cram as many logos onto the car as we can), their technical directors have persecution complexes, they got fucking crofty and sky sports to do their livery reveal, most of their sponsors are really shady companies, their cars are always ugly as fuck from a non-livery perspective too, they have no personality, one of their race engineers (Hülk's last season) is a massive dickhead and the team basically spreads their collective asshole for Carlos Slim's mexibux

their only redeeming feature is the press girl Victoria

>le angry binland

you're right, they should hire me for their digital marketing because fiverr is not doing them good

owned by a tax dodging fraudulent egomaniacal scumbag with a terrible haircut who's gone into hiding in the uk to avoid being extradited to india
>likely fair, but he's not in hiding is he...!

the co-owner is in prison for fraud and not paying ~$10billion
>the team isn't owned by Subrata Roy, it is owned by the Sahara Company

their liveries and social media are always shit (their idea of livery design is literally "cram as many logos onto the car as we can)
>sauber get shit for no sponsors, manor go bust with no sponsors, if the two above things are considered, Force India need logos

their technical directors have persecution complexes
>4th ahead of Mclaren with 1/3 budget, wouldn't you?

they got fucking crofty and sky sports to do their livery reveal
>exposure

most of their sponsors are really shady companies
>like diaego and NEC, two multi national companies? Oh, you mean like GENII?

their cars are always ugly as fuck from a non-livery perspective too, they have no personality, one of their race engineers (Hülk's last season) is a massive dickhead
>source?

and the team basically spreads their collective asshole for Carlos Slim's mexibux
>like mercedes does for PETRONAS?

their only redeeming feature is the press girl Victoria
>you like some girl

Are you bascailly a bitter rascit?

Paint job makes 100x worse than it is

team =/= constructor

kek

>Truly OUR POOS

Actually, he's not a tax dodger. He took out loans for his airlines, which eventually died and went bankrupt.

It's these loans that he hasn't repaid.

...

...

I read that the Indian government basically encouraged him to keep taking out loans, lel.

awkward
youtube.com/watch?v=szbE8ThdAuM

he looks pretty white with that lightning

nice update

Is his hair growing back?

yes thats exactly what is happening

oh Brazil

t. Indian immigrant

>he's not in hiding is he...!
he spends 360 days of the year locked up in his mansion paid for with tax dodging blood money

>the team isn't owned by Subrata Roy, it is owned by the Sahara Company
semantics, he owns Sahara

>if the two above things are considered, Force India need logos
you can have a good livery with lots of sponsors without cramming everything in at random with no regard for how it will look

>exposure
you can have it without resorting to whoring yourself out to Murdoch

>like diaego and NEC, two multi national companies? Oh, you mean like GENII?
I said most, you illiterate child
>who is sahara,kingfisher/ub/royal challenge/smirnoff/all their other alcohol sponsors, fxtm, skullcandy, telmex/claro/telcel, reebok, interproteccion, quaker state, w66, medion, they were sponsored by fucking kazakhstan too

forgot uralchem and uralkali, not exactly the most reputable of companies either

NEC is literally their only non-shady sponsor, Diageo is scummy to some extent too

i will leave you to your life of piety where you do not consume alcohol or have fun.

enjoy your life of chaste and self-control.

vijay is awesome an you're just bitter af

t. indian immigrant (with aspirational outlook)

I believe Kvyat will win.

>"I read an article this morning that Cyril Abiteboul of Renault said that poor teams such as Force India were going to suffer in this arms race. Well, good luck to him," Mallya proclaimed on stage.

>"He might have to eat his words. It's not the amount of arms you have, it's the quality of your weaponry."

wtf i love vijay now

>tax dodging blood money
FFS it's not tax dodging money

As for the sponsors, all their alcohol sponsors are above board and not implicated in any issues.

Sahara is literally the only questionable one
