F1 2013 thread

That is a good looking car - love the side shot. I actually like the nose - hopefully it delivers. There's a lot happening below the front end there...
 
Very nice looking car.

The last time Williams had a big, fat nose it was an abject failure. Here's to hoping it works this time around.
 
Just to put it out there for the 2013 season. Alonso sucks

Please be more specific :D
If you're talking about his skill as a driver, I reckon he would likely smoke the field in identical hardware right now. He is a pitbull in that car despite his whinging.

Anything. From balls to lollies. And he is a douche.

Not most F1 fans cup of tea, but the Daytona 500 sprint cup series is on today on SpeedTV for anyone interested. I believe there are a few places you can see it online.

Danica Patrick is out front. Yesterday's shunt was quite something...

Crazy crash... You gotta love those Yank drivers trying to get every car ever to the front in the last turn 'tho. Larson in the 32 car is a seriously lucky boy and let's hope the 28 spectators aren't seriously hurt.
F1 for life but love Daytona and Indianapolis as well.

Yep, turnleft is a sport. ;)

Harder than it looks.

Tomas Scheckter said you are a few degrees on the steering wheel away from drifting up into the wall or putting the car into a spin.

Those engines push out similar KW to an F1 engine... and those cars are heavy! Much harder to keep on the road than an F1 car.

Really, turn left is harder than f1? Wow, seems a bit much to me but ok.

Yep, not referring to turning the car, I'm referring to keeping it on the road. F1 cars are glued compared to Nascars... though I thought it would be pretty obvious.

Just look at the number of accidents in Nascar.
 
Elsewhere at McLaren...
The P1 Hybrid.... nice!

So who is getting freakin excited?

So close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't really support anyone but i think i am going with alonso this year, i like vettel but but i don't want to see another shummi era :(. Alonso and hamilton for me this season and perhaps i will finally find a driver to support every year in perez.

Really like perez, looks a world champion to me, who knows perhaps kimi gets a pole car.

Just out of interest who do you guys support? As in all the time? Do you support drivers or manufacturerers, i know ross is mclaren and he doesn't care who is driving it. Perhaps this year vettel could say ok mark i will be your back up man and try to help you win a title, i think that would mean he would need to let mark over take him a lot though LOL.

Who knows perhaps the old massa is back. Hopefully it rains as usual :D.

Do you guys know if the lower teams are still crippled, no kers and drs again? Surely they cannot have cars that have virtually no chance on the track. What is the point if they do not move forward.
