Look, when you're running a multi-million dollar operation led by a "design genius," it’s definitely not about cutting corners—it's clearly designed exactly this way for reasons known only to that brilliant mind.

Except, that same "design genius" was out there grinding sidepods with a hand file at dawn back in 2014...

Hey Gregory Brown94, what’s up with that tiny little exhaust vent in the Red Bull sidepod? What's the deal with that? Give us the breakdown—you're basically the only one here who actually gets the technical side of things. Even if you don't bother reading the rulebooks, you've clearly got a natural knack for it. Help us out here. Thanks.

Mercedes ended up building two different cars

Mercedes W13
Mercedes M13

Who knows what kind of scheme Toto's pulling this time!?

Gregory Brown94, do the rules even allow running two different chassis like this?

Most of you probably know what a ceramic coat is—it doesn't just make things shine and protect the paint, it’s got that hydrophobic effect too.
If you look at the link below, you'll see Gtechiq was actually partnering with Racing Point back in the dayhttps://guarantee.gtechniq.com/about...m-partnership/

Here’s Sergio looking absolutely stoked about all that ceramic goodness.


And here’s where Williams had their own branded ceramic coating

So, Mr. President—it won't matter if it rains, because the water just won't stick.

You can coat it in whatever you want, but a pool is still a pool—it’s gonna collect water regardless.

graniteharbor502 said:Yeah, that’s exactly what I was thinking—reminded me of those tiny little inflatable kiddie pools. Total baby style. 🙂

All you need now is a rubber ducky floating in there.

It’s gonna be a real mess once the rain starts pooling on this track--definitely interesting stuff to watch

I was talking about this yesterday, and turns out I was right 🙂

What's the deal with those divots?

Alright then, why don't you give us a little breakdown

It’s easy to analyze what’s right in front of our faces—we can see that ourselves. Analyze the stuff we *can't* see! Give us the venturis! Use what's visible to paint us a picture of how those venturi setups actually differ and how their efficiencies stack up between cars

And don't go thinking we're giving you a hard time here. Not even close!

We’ve seen you've got serious talent, kid! This is just your chance to let it all hang out and show us what you've really got.

Hey der Alen, walk us through where the venturi tunnels actually live on these new cars? They definitely aren't tucked under the sidepods—not with how much they've been shaved down. Are they centered or what?

You mean because of the color?!

Panj is having a rough time over at the Williamson marketing department—especially since the car keeps slamming into colors that look way too much like the Alpine design style

Sam Clark75 said:😂

Yeah, I'm stubborn—pretty much just like you, Mr. President.

1) My comment was strictly about aesthetics. How do you know I’m not an art lover if you won't even admit you aren't?

2) You say it's because of sponsors—fine, sure, it is. But that doesn't change my point—the color combo looks hideous. In this free country, I'm allowed to say it looks ugly, and I'm also allowed to say there's zero logic behind the colors just because I feel like it. That's how I'll keep doing it. Sorry not sorry.

3) Whatever. Have it your way.

4) Someone definitely just picked some random blue, slapped it next to orange without any thought, and then those colors got copied onto the race car. Happy now? Is that better, or how exactly does that fix anything?

It's honestly tragic what people—especially women—are letting slide these days! 🙂

6) If the President hates forum drama, he shouldn't be starting it—then we wouldn't have the drama in the first place. 🙂
Don't try to force me to admit I'm wrong—you're totally overreaching here. 😁

1) We aren't talking about aesthetics. Period.

The issue is that you're too embarrassed to admit you didn't realize the blue was there because of a sponsorship deal. Now you're pushing this whole "aesthetic" angle just to sweep the fact that you completely missed the obvious branding under the rug. And you're clearly ashamed of it.

Well, it's not working. This guy has seen through way bigger scammers than you in his lifetime, so you don't stand a chance.

Sam Clark75 said:Here we go again... so what? Just because they’re sponsor colors, does that mean they actually look good together? It looks terrible on the actual product and it looks just as bad on the car now.☕

You are an incredibly stubborn woman

1) This isn't even about whether they look good—let the designers worry about aesthetics. I'm not an artist, and neither are you.

2) The whole argument is whether there's any actual connection between those two colors—whether there's "no connection" or if there actually *is* one.

3) I literally laid out the proof showing the link between them. The connection is the Gulf sponsor, who has been using that specific color combo for decades.

4) The way you wrote your original post made it sound like someone just grabbed some random light blue and slapped it onto the car by accident.

5) To make things even more tragic, you’re doubling down on this idea that it's just a random, ugly color choice simply because you're too stubborn to admit you're wrong.

6) The President doesn't like stubborn women, he doesn't like forum fights, and he definitely doesn't like conflict in general. So, maybe think about whether you want to keep this going, or if you'd rather just be sweet and polite—like a proper forum member the President actually likes—and admit the President is right and your "no connection" comment was total nonsense.

Sam Clark75 said:Yeah, right. It looks hideous—especially paired with that orange they love so much. The car looks like a damn lollipop or some cheap toy. They haven't been able to nail a decent livery for years, ever since they went almost entirely black back in 2015/2016. Honestly, though, they were such a disaster back then that I'll happily enjoy it if the car actually turns out fast, ugly or not.

What do you mean "yeah, right"?

Both that blue and the orange are literally their sponsor's colors!

You wrote "this light blue goes with nothing, it doesn't match at all."

That sentence actually hurt my eyes because the connection is freaking obvious.

Those are standard Gulf colors, and Gulf is McLaren's main sponsor.



I mean, how can anyone claim those two colors "don't match"—it's completely beyond me.

Sam Clark75 said:Just talking aesthetics here—AM and AT look way better than last year, but I’m not feeling the McLaren vibe; that light blue just doesn't work with anything, total mismatch. Though, hey, if they actually turn up fast, I guess I can live with it. 🤣

Good grief, man—that blue has been tied to Gulf since forever.

fadedwalker18 said:Seriously, just get rid of that moving gif in your avatar... it's impossible to read anything in your posts when it's distracting you like that...

🤦🤦

Man, you really can't win with people—not with your music, and definitely not with your pointless commentary.

But hey, we still deal with you. Because we’re an actually tolerant community that accepts whatever weirdness our members bring to the table.

So why don't you try doing the same and just accept his avatar?

I swear, this is the first time in the history of this forum anyone has ever complained about someone's damn avatar.

Look, Formula 1 has been totally butchered over the last 20 years—it’s barely even the same sport anymore. So, if we just treat this "new" version of Formula 1 as its own thing entirely, separate from the old era? Then the sprint format is actually killer! It just cranks up the excitement even more.

Classic.

And that's basically how the whole anti-vax movement gets its start—misreading one thing, spreading it like wildfire, and boom... we're there.

John Fowler2 said:Having #1 actually gives you a better shot at getting #2.

Edit
The vaccine isn't some foreign entity living in your body fighting the virus on its own. It just triggers a reaction so your body knows how to fight when the real thing shows up. So, either way, your body is the one doing the heavy lifting.

All that typing for nothing. You're just an anti-vaxxer at this point.

We're all gonna die
