war baby Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The cars look better and by all accounts will be noisier. What will count is the better racing, but some drivers have voiced doubts that there will be any more overtaking and expect the order to remain much the same as last season.

the stinking enigma Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 the merc's out. more ground effect, less shark fin https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/features/2017/2/gallery--how-the-2017-mercedes-compares-to-last-year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Merc by far the best so far but it still has elements I'm not keen on. I think the Force India designer just lost heart and forgot to bother to shape the anvil and just left it as a fin! Ferrari - just no, looks awful Fingers crossed that McLaren come up with something half decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war baby Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Red Bull have promised a sexy racey looking design, to be revealed tomorrow. Let's hope Adrian Newey has done it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Based on testing so far, a couple of personal predictions: The new regulations won't improve the races. The increased speed isn't perceptible to spectators, and by all accounts the new aerodynamics create a lot of turbulence, making it hard to follow closely. The lead car will be at a huge advantage, and and pole will usually win. Lance Stroll will be a liability but probably will increase spectacle by randomly taking out other drivers.

war baby Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The Barcelona tests seem to indicate that the 2017 Ferrari is a front runner with Red Bull making a good showing. Mercedes is still well to the fore, but perhaps not as dominant as it has been for the last three years. Kimi was fastest today with young Max eight tenths back. Driver opinions are mixed over the potential difficulties of overtaking. Two weeks to go until the first race with greater tyre choice, new start regulations requiring more driver input and standing restarts after a safety car. And no Bernie.

war baby Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I see by the total lack of comment here that we were all totally underwhelmed by the opening Grand Prix of the 2017 season. It was a predictable procession with the only excitement provided by the single pit stops. As small compensation, we saw a contest between two teams. Perhaps China with its wide track will permit some passes. Let's hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasps4Sale Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yup, totally underwhelmed is right! The single pit stop made for a few seconds of excitement, then you had the inevitable 'something may happen towards the end' before they ran out of laps/tyres. I find the lower formulas a lot more entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
