I think you can tell that advert is made by people who have no idea about F1 or it's fans. Super cringey!As for the livery, they've basically gone from all black, to all yellow. Boring as hell, there's no creativity in it whatsoever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
APR193 0 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Yes its not creative but at least its got some colour to it. Might make the back of the grid on the race starts look a bit more interesting... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
couger1981 94 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 About time we have a Yellow car on the grid, hasn't been the same since the Jordan days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chadwick8505 0 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Glad it has color but it is so boring. The meeting must have went "they say we need more yellow" "I know all the black bits let's make yellow" "but what about the yellow we already have?" "Make them black!" "Brilliant!"

Moderator MBKF1 91 Posted March 16, 2016 Moderator Share Posted March 16, 2016 They could have done so much better with it, now it needs more black! I continually find myself disappointed by F1 livery designs. Haas was dreary, Red Bull could have done better too I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator MBKF1 91 Posted March 16, 2016 Moderator Share Posted March 16, 2016 In other news, I've just noticed something about this photo.It's very cool, quite striking, but I'm pretty sure this shows Alonso driving the wrong way around Turn 2 at Barcelona. I've had a look a few times now and I'm sure it's this turn, judging by the run off on the inside (with the speed humps) and the grandstand in the background. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This supports my opinion that Hamilton is the Beiber of F1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ridiculous.I like Hamilton as a driver, and it's cool him showing us his extravagant lifestyle, but things like this make him look like a right nob.I hope the media roast him about it tomorrow at the media day for the Grand Prix.

Yeah, it could be better - looking at MotoGP or Formula E - but all in all, it's pretty decent.And that editing is mighty tasty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RevolvingPrawn 1 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Red Bull and Aston Martin are teaming up. It's mainly Red Bull lending Aston Adrian Newey to create a new car, but Red Bull will be running Aston Martin logo's on the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jiggy 5 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I hope they do. Shows commitment and it'd mean that, if they get it right, the leading constructor of the first half of this decade won't be reliant on its competition to secure a good engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chadwick8505 0 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Would have rather seen Aston come in as a manufacturer. There was the rumor they'd buy out Force India. Also that they'd supply Red Bull engines as rebranded Mercs. The rebranded engines might happen still. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moderator f1since08 110 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted March 21, 2016 Italian media are reporting that Monza wants to put a chicane at the curva grande for motorbikes and will lose the contract to Imola next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator MBKF1 91 Posted March 21, 2016 Moderator Share Posted March 21, 2016 If they do make a chicane then I'd hope they make one that doesn't interfere with the current corner so they can still use it for Formula 1. Perhaps something like this.Something like this would hopefully work, so there's still plenty of run off for the bikes at the chicane (they'd use the current track), and then the chicane would just go into the current gravel trap.
