Steve,
you know the dramatic state of " *****(ams)" ! they no longer have the resources to line up a second car...

No it's a mistake, I cut the hand of this poor Kubi, excuse me Steve, you have good eyes ! excuse me Kubi !
Without I wonder me what is doing Paddy, " *****" is the only team the only team that has not announced its presentation, I think they will do it on the test track directly, they probably have not yet decided on the chassis to put around the W10 EQ+ POWER lol

Everything you need to know about front wings:
http://gptoday.com/full_story/view/6...9_front_wings/
At least as far as I'm concerned.

Christian Horner frustrated with Liberty:
http://gptoday.com/full_story/view/6...Liberty_Media/
I wonder if Liberty has any regrets about buying the F1 circus?

Video of Max's gym routine:

As a former gym rat, it's interesting to see what these drivers actually do.

The better question is "Why would ANYONE want this?"

How much of an ego do you have to have to think you can successfully herd this bunch of cats?

Have a good one,
Mike

PresentHaasion of the new livery of the US Team. It's not the definitive car, the car for testings will be ready in 8 days...this livery looks a lot like the Lotus JPS livery




Gene Hass with William Storey, owner of Rich Energy, the UK's Premium energy drink brand.

Storey said that Rich Energy is supported by "four billionaires", including the owners of the West Ham United football club, David Sullivan and David Gold. By getting involved in F1, the declared objective is to have sufficient visibility among consumers to compete head-on with Red Bull, the historical leader in the energy drink market.

PS : the front wing/spoiler is to 2019 standards even if it probably won't be the one on the car during the tests, and as you can see (precisely not) the bargeboards have also had to be modified but this is not visible because of theblack painting and the "deliberately discreet" photos. The teams tend to hide everything until the last minute, an "old tradition" in F1....

Check out the slider presentation showing the differences between Haas' VF18 & VF19 cars:
http://gptoday.com/full_story/view/6..._and_the_VF18/
Very cool stuff.

Rich Energy is confident of beating RB a few times this season:
http://gptoday.com/full_story/view/6...itle_sponsors/
Yeah, good luck with that.

I like the fact he is always blunt in his comments and doesn't try to sugarcoat anything.

The slider tech presentation is always impressive.

You misunderstand. RE is talking about their energy drinks beating RB a few times, not the F1 teams! :lolg

DQ'd for being 100g (3.5 oz) over the limit. Pathetic. Hope that kind of stupidity is gone (sure to be replaced by other stupidity, I'm sure).

Have a good one,
Mike

Paddy has finally found a chassis to put around the W10 EQ+ Power PU of his "*****" ? For the moment, Grove's structure only refers to the presentation of its new livery. Same date as STR.



The so pretty Lotus JPS with "Magic S"

Whatever you think of RB as a product, you've got to admit they know how to make cool promotional videos.

Yes, you're right Mike about these damned Austrians ...
What happens, I don't read your well-known signature, which also became a label , the famous ''have a good one. Mike''
This is missing...

Listen to that, It seems to be the charge of Wagner's walkyries, that all the Germanic Gods of the Rhine are angry. The challengers are already shaking when they hear the power of the new W10, 1st scream/cri today, shakedown on the 13th after the presentation, Silverstone. Oh, my God/OMG... lol

Y'know, I was in a rush when I wrote that and got lazy. I thought, "who'll notice?"

The story behind that signature "have a good one" is that we're all having a good day, compared to others in less fortunate circumstances.

So, have a good one!
Mike

Yes, indeed. My worst day is better than many folk's best one.
I try to acknowledge that every day.
Have a good one all!

It seems all of the engines we've heard so far this year sound very different from one another.
Kinda surprising to me.
