Stolen from TCL:
OHHHHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Some have stated in the F1technical forum that this design was the original planned nose but could not pass safety tests.
RBR upgrades -
RBR seem to have gotten rid of the winglet over the sidepods for a more traditional vertical attachment wing.
Ferrari upgrades-
Not much in the terms or radical changes yet with Ferrari.
Mclaren upgrades -

At least Alonso gets to keep his IndyCar after the race. Since 2004 one of his contract terms is to keep the car he drove at his museum.

Finders keepers? Alonso will get to keep his Indycar

I was thinking it was at Milan instead of US 131.. US131 is much further. Will consider.

Wells Fargo Championship last weekend not as exciting as Spanish GP this weekend.
Loved hearing HAM out of breath on the radio. For Spanish GP was p good. 7/10. Both HAM and VET drove excellent and either deserved the win but luck favored HAM just a bit.
Oh and def think Ferrari should have tried a stop for softs with 15-20 laps to go. Why not? Nothing to lose.
also add 3rd place RIC almost 1:16 behind the leaders after 66 laps with a VSC. That's not really progress lol

So went downtown the other day and I think I found a sweet alternative for AP1/2
Nice paint job and a K series swap and you'd be all set.

Best part of the race:
Raikkonen's little bawling fan meets his hero
How is that not the coolest thing Ferrari have ever done?

The drama with that kid was the best part of the race. I was LOL'ing when they showed Kimi's car pulled over to the side and the next shot was Thomas bawling his eyes out!

P12 for ALO, his first race finish of the season after five races
onward to Monaco 5/28 Sunday morning followed by Indy later on.
do you think VET would have won if it weren't for the VSC?

Re: The Official Formula 1 2017 Season Thread
I do. I think he and HAM would have stopped later. VET was on new softs and only ran them for something like 15 laps. He had an 8 second lead at that point and was pulling out. He'd have run those softs for at least another 10 laps. I don't think HAM on the faster softs would have been able to catch and pass VET after their last stops. However, I think today was 1 of those race where both drivers were deserving of the victory so I'm not taking anything from HAM. Yeah he bungled the start a bit but he kept VET close and it's worth noting that in every race at Barcelona this weekend the second place starter lead the first lap.
