2017 car launches

Haas now confirmed as also on 26 February, leaving just Williams to announce.

I'm actually please now that some are so late - I'll be at the circuit on the first day of testing and, like Duke, will share some updates and photos at the end of each day.

Sauber is out

Looks nicer than last years at least!

Looks better when some sponsors are added:

Shark fins are back. I like the low slung rear wings.

I'm not so sure the on the way the white has been applied, but the blue with gold highlights works surprisingly well.

Other than the interesting airbox and DRS actuator, it's about what we expected from a 2017 launch.

Good looking car

I am really looking forward to testing

MissChief · 20 Feb 2017 at 12:25

I like the colour scheme, as said above, the blue and gold works well.

Sauber looking good, but Gauloises? when will that be allowed?
Andi.

I think that one is a non-official fan mock up?

Duke · 20 Feb 2017 at 20:03

Actually has some aero detail on it not seen on Saubers since BMW left them.

I think they're trying to show that it looks very similar to the Ligier scheme from the 90s

Undecided about the shark fins, but the cars have not been this sexy since 2008. Actually quite excited about testing.

Agree on liking the rear wing, low and with the backwards angle.

Don't agree on the gold highlights looking good with the blue, in fact I think they look pretty terrible, in particular the wing mirrors being gold just looks completely tacky.

Funny how it's all in the eye of the beholder, I quite like blue and gold, but then I am a bit of a classic Subaru fan.

Not a fan of the big black shark fin. Would be a beautiful car without that.

Syla5 · 21 Feb 2017 at 10:14

At least they are trying to hide the finnwith the colour in this initial online release. Could be much worse and be gold!

KiNgPiN83 · 21 Feb 2017 at 15:07

The Renault looks good. Could use a little more yellow though..

MooMoo444 · 21 Feb 2017 at 15:29

I see they have gone for the bumblebee look. I like it

Glaucus · 21 Feb 2017 at 15:33

renault video

the wide low designs look great, the massive shark tail not so much, roll on testing .

IPBA · 21 Feb 2017 at 15:35

Is the shark fin actually part of the regulations?
