Wow, that Burnt Orange was the colour used by McLaren Automotive for the Launch version of the MP4-21 Road Car, and it looked stunning. I hope that despite dropping the mp4 designation they have gone for it's colours.

Thanks man. if you were thinking badminton, apparently someone hit a shuttlecock 21 mph faster than Montoya hitting 231mph in the italian grand prix. so you would be right

They should rename the Macca - call it the McHarren Clonda. Kind of has an appropriate Japanese / Klutz ring to it.

Well, not false, as it was what I thought of when I saw the title of the video.
But it is another sport that makes the video title false, I suppose.
Oh, and a quick look shows Top Fuel dragsters actually reach 335mph, so a false meme

this got me reading up on these beasts. apparently they can produce "8,000 horsepower and can go from 0 to 320 mph (510 km/h) in under 5 seconds and from 0-100 km/h in 0.9 seconds". fark

It must take a special type of madness to strap into one of those. And people thing F1 drivers are risk takers
Slow.
2017 Williams F1 FW40: First images revealed

[video=youtube_share;mFagk2lpseQ]https://youtu.be/mFagk2lpseQ[/video]
The first images of the 2017 Williams Formula 1 car have broken cover, revealed exclusively by Autosport and Motorsport.com.
The team's FW40 - named in recognition of its 40th anniversary - is the first car designed to F1's new rules for this season to be revealed.
Hints of what to expect from this year's rules came from last year's Pirelli testing - using modified 2015 cars from Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull - and last month when Manor team members posed with its 2017 windtunnel model following the closure of the team.
However, the Williams offers the first full picture of a new design, with the most striking difference being the reshaped rear wing similar to the design Ferrari added to its Pirelli test car.
At the front of the car, the thumb-tip nose design that first became a feature of some cars in 2014 remains, with Williams's solution very similar to the set-up it used in 2015-16.
The British team starts this season with rookie Lance Stroll alongside Felipe Massa, who reversed his decision to retire from F1 when Valtteri Bottas was signed by Mercedes to replace world champion Nico Rosberg.

And yet again I start a season with optimism for Williams. I wish that team would win some silverware again.

Best colour scheme on the grid imo
That is a copy of this:

Whoever ripped it off is now trying to claim it is real and is using it for click bait with no reference to the original work.
