God, they really tore Horner apart at the end! "I doubt the boys will be sharing any champagne with you all"—hahaha, absolute legends.

Kevin Long20 said:At least they'll be easier to spot on track—if nothing else... Not exactly a disaster, especially considering people were constantly comparing them to McLaren from a mile away last season.

Look, they showed up to testing with white wings last year, only to roll into Los Angeles with red ones. So, yeah—this probably isn't their final look!

The RB5—certainly unlike anything else 🙂--

And they actually pulled it off!

I suspect it’s still unrefined—watch those grooves on the side of the nose section.

And this... just what we needed. 🤣🤣--pure nonsense--🤣🙏.

Honestly, my favorites were his helmet during the McLaren days and last year's design—nowhere near this mess. This current one looks like something you’d see at a McDonald's... I really expected more from Alonso's gear, but this is just a massive step backward. And that red peak? Don't even get me started.

Issus... Renault... If Maminho decides to weigh in on this masterpiece, he deserves an immediate ban—and a permanent one at that! Just look at those suits; absolute disasters. They look like something out of a kid's space movie!

I'm bowing to his imagination!

I'm fairly certain—though I've learned to expect little from anything in this sport—that the Williams will end up being the best-looking car on the grid.🙏🙏🙏 If only he could find that old speed again—not that I’m holding my breath.🙏 And honestly—I’ve got this sinking feeling that the championship fight is going to look exactly like this:

Quote : The Best F1 driver
Williams, Renault, Red Bull—just more names to watch fade into irrelevance.👋

Red Bull medium —
Toyota, BMW, Honda—it’s all just noise at this point.

Last page—
Force India top-tier—if you can even call it that.🙂Ferrari, McLaren—just more of the same.😬

darkmarlin16 said:that rear spoiler is hideous,and what is that red crap—it doesn't even look right on camera😂

No joke, Sherlock Holmes...—though I find it interesting you're only noticing it on this specific car...🙄

Arthur Doyle70 said:Once they actually pass the crash tests...🤣🤣

For now, it’s Jan 19th in Portugal.☕

Man, you really managed to swipe the letters right off my keyboard!!!😂😂🤣🤣

Arthur Doyle70 said:I wasn't aware they capped the rev limit at 18,000 rpm 🤷

Overall, the car doesn't look half bad...

Anyway, we're just waiting on our guy, right?

I have to admit—from this angle—that rear end looks pretty sharp!

Daniel Price23 said:Can someone please walk me through what happened to the Ford pit crew? They used to pull off wins through pure strategy in the pits but now—well, it’s just one disaster after another.
😕😕 😕😕😕 😕😕😕😕😕

Man, I couldn't agree more!

rustystag7 said:it knocked him right out of the title race—he wasn't even close, just stuck in the same tier as Kimi🤷

The FIA decided he just wasn't much of a threat... because let's be honest—Massa wasn't exactly at his peak back then!

rustystag7 said:plus—if I recall correctly—Ferrari hasn't faced penalties like this since the Schumacher era back in '06, though my memory isn't perfect...🤷

Look, Massa got a black flag in Canadalast year, so I’m not buying any of these conspiracy theories...

The FIA is a mess—fine. They favor Ferrari? Sure. And Lewis Hamilton deserved his penalties too—you know it yourself—but you just have a thing for the conspiracies...

Because what happened at Spa was a legitimate penalty—the more I look at it, the more it makes sense...
Kimi beat him at his own game; Hamilton just squeezes people out and leaves them zero room—he did it to Massa and Pic much like that in Hockenheim this year, and he did it to Glock at Monza too, so there's really nothing to complain about...

Nobody's saying you can't cut a chicane, but man—cutting it the way he did? That's where the issue lies...
If I need to post video footage to prove my point, just say the word...

Yeah, but Massa wasn't even in the title fight back then...😉

stormybadger8 said:So, even the Ferrari boss thinks the SC rule is absolute nonsense☕—and he’s right. I mean, how else can you describe it? You have one driver who pulls a massive lead by hitting his pit window just before the SC hits the track, jumping ahead of the slow Truo and Fizzik cars because they're essentially sitting ducks, only to be handed a stop and go penalty later. That penalty wipes out his entire advantage—an advantage built while the fastest cars on the track couldn't close the gap even if they tried—and drops him back to second. It’s absurd.😵

Don't get me wrong—props to both Fernando Alonso and Nico Rosberg🙏—but let's be real. Without that ridiculous rule and the sheer luck of timing their pit stops during those exact moments, they would've finished 4th or 5th, maybe even lower in those mid-field cars. Now, when it rains and a driver masters the wet, or a team nails a perfect tire change under pressure? That’s skill—that's calculated risk-taking. This? This is pure luck. It has nothing to do with actual racing.☕

I highly doubt he'd be complaining about the SC rule if things hadn't played out exactly this way...🙄

dustyhound said:Come on—every single race? Give me a break 🙄
If that were actually the case, why didn't everyone just cut that chicane 🙄
Clearly everyone else is clueless while Alonso is the only one with half a brain...
Sure, you can claim Alonso is some master strategist—his start looked solid enough—but the car cutting the chicane behind him wasn't even half as fast as his... besides, that was Piquet's Renault, not the BMW, so it makes sense—they're all running from the same crew 🙄

Can someone drop a link so I can see this for myself?

nimblemarlin17 said:The rule makes perfect sense—it’s basic math. Pitting under the SC gives you a massive advantage over anyone who had to pit during green flag racing. It’s hardly a fair fight when your rivals are crawling at 155 miles/h or 81 miles/h.

The track itself was actually decent—felt like one giant, high-stakes go-kart circuit—so I suppose even the drivers found some enjoyment in it.

Everyone seemed desperate for it to wrap up sooner or later—though apparently, Kimi Räikkönen didn't quite make it to the finish line...🤣

rustystag7 said:Look, I checked it out—honestly, even I couldn't say what should happen there. Robert Kubica shoved him twice and Felipe Massa did the same once, but I have to admit—they all drove pretty clean....

I'm guessing it was damn near impossible to keep that car on the track in that downpour. 🙏

Yeah, but still... By the FIA's own standards regarding McLaren, both cars probably should’ve been penalized for safety violations. It makes me wonder how things would've gone down if, say, Fernando Alonso had been in Massin's spot back then!
