W11 vs W12

 

[xrnzaaas]

Ahhhhhh now I get the AMG AMG AMG AMG AMG AMG AMG AMG memes that started popping up.

Also good luck trying to read the driver number when the car is driving fast.

 

[Makariel]

AMG AMG AMG!

Half an hour until Renault Alpine is unveiling their "challenger". I am disappointed if it's not blue.

 

[Fox Mulder]

The whole silver area looks like shit really. The little Mercedes stars looked nice on the black livery last year.

 

[Airbus Jr]

 

[Fox Mulder]

Lol the Renault reveal stream is like 5 FPS. Hope their car is faster than this.

 

[Makariel]

So far I think I've only seen half the car, since it's loading so slow.

 

[Fox Mulder]

 

[xrnzaaas]

Fernando knew what he was doing when he was ditching the GP2 stream.

Livery looks cool, only the red MAPFRE logo near the cockpit ruins it a little bit.

 

[Makariel]

The Alpine livery looks nice, so far my favourite.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Kvyat's going to be Alpine's reserve driver - nice to see him remain in F1 with hopes of getting a 2022 seat. He certainly deserves it.

 

[Airbus Jr]

 

[J-Roderton]

 

[xrnzaaas]

Doesn't look like it's been ruined by pink BWT logos - that's good.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Looks nice and Tom Brady approved.

 

[Makariel]

At the very least this might be one of the best looking grids in a while. So far no livery catastrophe... Williams?

 

[xrnzaaas]

Well that AMG AMG AMG engine cover is atrocious.

 

[Makariel]

I think it looks fine. Sure, the Mercedes stars looked better. At least they change the livery a bit, unlike Red Bull, which looks the same every year since we might forget that red bull is an energy drink.

 

[Airbus Jr]

 

[Makariel]

 

[xrnzaaas]

An American team with huge Russian flags all around - sounds legit.

I wonder if this is partially a loophole since Mazepin can't race under a Russian flag after Russia's DQ from sports.

 

[prinz_valium]

Well that AMG AMG AMG engine cover is atrocious.

Kinda like it.
Looks like a Muscle popping out. You know what I mean.

Haas car looks boring. Other than that, nice

 

[Fox Mulder]

 

[Makariel]

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Ouch that HAAS right now is the ugliest. Its literally the only formula that looks like its ready for the Olympics and not an F1 race.

 

[J-Roderton]

Needs more hard bass.

 

[Makariel]

Secret Haas windtunnel testing footage leaked:

edit:
Some think Haas has already given up on 2021:

 

[J-Roderton]

I actually like this.

 

[Makariel]

So Haas managed to get the "worst looking car on the grid" award?

 

[xrnzaaas]

And of course they added extra sounds for Romain's crash.

At least the trailer is free of 2nd Racism bits, hopefully the season will be about actual racing.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I'm liking the new safety car and especially the new medical car.

 

[Makariel]

Some things never change...

 

[Shubh_C63]

Oh, I almost forgot I have something else to look forward to in life.

Not today rope.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Phillip Morris doing everything they can to ruin Ferrari's liveries.

 

[Peter303]

Phillip Morris doing everything they can to ruin Ferrari's liveries.

That's the worst livery so far. Did they use comic sans for the driver number

 

[Airbus Jr]

 

[Makariel]

It would be so easy, just take a nice shade of red and paint the car, but no...

 

[Fox Mulder]

I don’t think the mission winnow shit was even on the car most of last season because it is banned in some countries. Wonder if they just slapped it in green for the reveal knowing people would talk about it and write articles.

 

[Makariel]

Nice overview on reddit:

 

[xrnzaaas]

Kimi with a god flare, sounds about right.

 

[Makariel]

If only I could be so grossly incandescent...

 

[StonedRider]

The smell of the new season, it's good to be back!!!

Btw, there is -25% discount on annual F1 tv pro subscription now.

 

[J-Roderton]

Ready to ride into my second season of F1 fandom. Hoping for some Checo podiums and Ferrari hopefully not being total shit.

 

[Peter303]

I'm hoping for Stroll beating Seb every race and Lando being world champion.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Personally I'm looking forward to finding out:
- how much Checo is slower than Max and how he'll adapt to driving for Red Bull
- how rusty Fernando is
- how soon Seb will s8in his new Aston Martin

 

[Makariel]

This year will be make or break for a number of drivers. I'm hoping that Checo will get up to speed soon and challenges for podiums. If a rusty Fernando still beats Ocon I guess that would be the end of him. I would not be too surprised if Lance doesn't compare too badly against Sbinbastian. Giovinazzi needs to show more this year or I think Ferrari will lose any interest left in him. Bottas can solidify his status as number 2 driver. Oh yeah and Hamilton will of course win the drivers championship. Mercedes stopped development on their 2020 car before everyone else and got going for this year, I doubt anyone got on par with them, unless DAS did more for the lap times than they cared to admit.

 

[Makariel]

First day of testing.

First red flag goes to Ferrari, yay!

Mercedes bit slow to start, had to replace the gearbox.

What about young Shumi vs Nikita "The Rapist" Mazepin fight to death?

The same for Haas unfortunately. Precious testing time is lost.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Personally I don't care about Mazepin drama. He was an idiot for posting stuff like this on social media, but I'm pretty sure some of the other current and past drivers also weren't saints. They just know what stuff should be kept private.

As for the Haas team, hard to be excited if they already abandoned the plans to develop the current car. And not exactly a good situation for Mick to develop his talent in F1 and show what he can do.
