2018 Car Reveal and Pre-season Testing

They won't even be able to see the lights

Honestly, they'll probably scrap the HALO the second someone flips over and can't climb out—all thanks to the sheer incompetence of NASCAR.

A quick look from the driver's seat in a car equipped with the halo system:

It really changes the aesthetic—to be honest, it makes the cars look a bit clunky.

Just hang tight—you'll spot them soon enough.

Anyone got a link for the testing stream? 😬
Man, I seriously can't wait. 🙂

Up too early? 😁

Yep...
Couldn't sleep. Woke up around 1:30 AM with this nagging feeling that today is finally the first Practice Session of the season. 🤣

It’s pretty interesting how this whole section is actually its own modular piece you can swap out without much hassle...
The arrows point to the seams where the outer shell connects, meaning you could just pop it off and replace it...

Seems like a way simpler solution for mid-season upgrades. It might even be smart for them to have different aperture sizes depending on the track and how much cooling they need 🤔

This could turn out to be a super elegant, efficient setup—basically as easy to swap as changing front wing versions to suit the circuit requirements 😁
And logically speaking, manufacturing this part would be a hell of a lot easier than building a front wing...

Lewis Hamilton clocked a 1:58.
Folks, we have our champion.

Hey everyone! Quick question for the group—does anyone happen to know where I might be able to catch the pre-season testing sessions?

It looks like Mercedes-Benz isn't waiting around; they're already putting in laps.

Fernando Alonso went off track.

Honda seems to be holding up so far.

Fernando Alonso lost a wheel... I wonder if they're testing the HALO system? 🙂

Can someone drop the link to watch? 🙂

Renault-Benz?, Hulk Hogan?

Force India kept pushing back the big reveal because they supposedly wanted to debut under a brand-new name, but honestly, it looks like that was all talk. If these takeover rumors actually pan out, maybe they didn't want to swap the name to Force just to have to change it again in a couple of weeks.

Man, they look absolutely hideous... You eventually get used to the livery, and we kind of made peace with the fin design, but this? This is just rough.

So, quick question for the group... are we actually seeing Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel out on the track tomorrow?

Lewis Hamilton just picked up right where he left off, plain and simple.

There he is, the Ferrari champion... 🙂
