It looks exactly the same....

They do. All the tech specialists will now point out massive differences at a minute aero detail....but to the regular fan basically the same then !

i listened to a podcast with Abiteboul a while back and they were already working on it then, said 2019 they were for a lot of the time working on three designs

19,20 and 21

see how it pans out. Might do them a favour in long one supplying just one team which is the case after 2020

You'd imagine McLaren would've been heavy on the 2021 development as well then. What resources will Renault be putting into their engine this year?

Apart for the Ferrari one. It’s shit.

It’s not a good Ferrari livery for a start



This is what a Ferrari should look like

“Generosity always pays off. Generosity in your effort, in your work, in your kindness, in the way you look after people and take care of people. In the long run, if you are generous with a heart, and with humanity, it always pays off.”

I think they have to try and close the gap. I dont think Williams can survive another season like the last 2.

Ditching Kubica whilst sad was the right call.

The new Renault. Love the black testing livery.

They've gone for it with that redesigned front end and the rear wing endplate and mirror/bargeboard arrangement looks far more aggressive than anybody else.

What are we calling the huge wing mirror winglets/foils now?
