Also rooting for Torro Rosso Honda to silence the naysayers. Not expecting them to finish anywhere near the top but some consistency and occasional top 10 finishes would be nice. I think everyone is predicting them to be last since Sauber has updated Ferrari engines.

Alfa Romeo

Something would be wrong if it doesn't suffer from a mechanical or electrical failure followed by 30 espressos.

The matte finish is pure

I know this might have been discussed in the entertainment forum, but has anyone checked out 'Grand Prix' on Amazon Prime? its 4 episodes on the 2017 testing for McLaren...thought it was pretty solid.

as the RB14 I thought was pretty nice...makes the halo not look so bad

Also:

"Renault and Sauber are launching on Tuesday, world champion Mercedes and rivals Ferrari on Thursday and McLaren on Friday."

I mean this is the sport of moving billboards...would make sense to make the branding instantly recognizable

if it protects the drivers from crash debris and roll-overs at 300kph I think it's worthwhile

First day of testing complete. Alonso loses a wheel bearing on lap 6 lol

Add to the drama, Torro Rosso ran middle pack time on soft tires and did almost 100 laps with no problems, albeit they may have been detuned for reliability

Nothing else exciting, Mercedes most likely sandbagging again

1) Nice to see Red Bull is showing some earlier test pace.
2) Although it didn't say... Mercedes is using a harder compound than Ferrari... is this a precursor so another year of Mercedes > Ferrari?
3) Honda engine seemed to be more reliable after how many tries?? Lost count...
4) Come on Alonso... wait... the wheel flew off... Come on McLaren, at least tighten the nuts!!
