Re: The Official Formula 1 2016 Season Thread
I was trying to figure out how they got away with no welds on the fuel rail and then I realized it was a rendered 3D model.
Fooled me for a good 15 seconds though.

Gene Haas has admitted he would have been better off buying an existing Formula 1 team rather than establishing his squad as a completely new entry.
The American outfit's founder admitted Bernie Ecclestone had strongly advised him to acquire one of the teams already in the field rather than starting from scratch.
"Bernie was always saying 'why don't you just buy an existing team?', which was actually a better idea because there were only 10 teams at the time so economically it would've been a lot more beneficial."
"Bernie was probably right because there are so many advantages when you're a top 10 team."
"Not only do you get 'column A' money but you also get freight and airline tickets for the team," he said.
"There is a lot of financial help for the teams once they've been established."
