F1 Season Buildup/Testing/Car Launches

[GravyMonster]

That looks lovely in red and white. You can't really go wrong

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

I wish there was some more red on the front, otherwise, it looks fantastic

 

[Syla5]

tiny side pods??? You mean classic Sauber slab sided monstrosities?

Renault RS18:

 

[The_Abyss]

I like that Renault.

Only good view of the Sauber is from behind, a view only likely to be seen by the front runners as they lap it.

 

[Kol]

I'm impressed with that, looks great.

 

[pacegod]

Very much an evolution of last years RS17, I do like the brighter yellow hope it stays.

 

[Nick1881]

Is it true that Sauber will be running the latest spec Ferrari engine? If so that will give them a good boost.

 

[Glaucus]

nice colour scheme, is this going to be the year with nice liveries all round.

Yup, 2018 engines, supposedly on equal spec to factory team! The closer ties to the prancing horse, taking on Leclerc and a technological partnership "SHOULD" bring them up the grid.

quite like all the colour schemes bar the Red Bull. It might look better in day light even if it is only temporary.

Don't worry, McLaren will be along soon with a dull matt grey with very little else going on that they describe as an adventurous colour scheme soon!

The Renault looks great, quite like the Redbull and not too bothered by the other cars so far.

 

[The_Abyss]

The McLaren teasers are looking very orange.

 

[MooMoo444]

Renault looks stunning. Works with the yellow band boots well.

The other compounds probably look a bit off tho

I saw that too. Lots of hints that it's going to be a historical all-papaya livery instead of incorporating patches of black as last years' car did.

I expect Haas and Toro Rosso to be fairly consistently behind Sauber and possibly Williams given their driver pairing.

The Sauber looks much better this year and with the latest engines and Leclerc I expect them to be much more on the pace.

Said it last year too but the Red Bull testing/launch liveries are awesome. Just a shame they’ll be back with the boring brand scheme

Definitely! Will be sure to get involved with a decent package. Very strong chance he puts Ericsson to shame.

 

[Kevin Clark]

Honda have got their engine working

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

If they don't get it together this year, I think they will walk, Honda, that is.
