After watching that, looking at the guys in this video, I am sure they are happier than before.

Can you give me the name of the actual video on amazon prime? Amazon Prime search is not actually search friendly.

When I first saw the thumbnail of that video, I thought they got Ron Dennis back.

LOL, I guess would not hurt to get Ron back as he knows how to get things done and looking at the end of the video its nice to see couple of sponsor names, Mclaren needs a load of them to keep going.

The sidepod design of the Red Bull looks interesting. Looks like one huge hollow cavity with some aero slat in the middle.

The launch livery looks awesome, hope they keep it. They are running a fan vote on their website asking the masses to vote.

Here's the Renault in Yellow and Black livery. By the way, it looks like Sauber will be the best looking of the lot this year.

How the heck do these wizards make something so technical and scientific, capable of such fury so agonisingly beautiful?

That Alfa Romeo. Pure filth.

Totally!! Seeing the Sauber and Red Bull, I think 2018 has the potential to have some of the best and most beautiful liveries in a very very long time!!

Its amazing to have Alfa and Aston brands being displayed on cars!!

Can't wait to see what will the livery for Force India and will it still be called Force India or as the rumor suggests will be Brabham F1 team

Waiting for Ferrari to launch their 2018 car as well

It was shake down day for Toro Rosso. The team released the first visuals. The front end looks very McLaren-esque !

Yes, 2018 will be carrying papaya orange, in fact if you look at the teaser carefully the last car on the video is 2018 car shaded in orange.

This livery is not final and is a special edition. The paint job that will be used in race trim will only break cover at the preseason testing.

Even I was wondering why there is no element of "RED" on a Redbull car?

Cheers!

Whoever did this...couldn't have shown this better.

I'm still not able to understand how this halo this doesn't create visibility issues

fz_rider · 22nd February 2018, 18:51

Don't fix it if it ain't broken. To an untrained eye, Mercedes looks same as 2017

Quoting my post from the thread on Halo.

They know the car (exactly where the wheels are, the wing is etc.) and the track (the lines, kerbs etc). And the Halo doesn't affect whatever they should see.

At max, it looks like a fat antenna in the middle. The thick beam at the center is mounted longitudinally and not across. So, its thin from a driver' perspective. And top portion is much above the eye level. Actually, it can help the visibility by blocking the sun rays. Hope all drivers will be able to see the starting lights on all circuits with the halo - we do have some grids which are not straights.

Check out the vantage from this POV cam for reference below.

My main concern is the way the car looks with it though. A certain charm of being an open single seater is lost with the halo. And the fans will have trouble identifying the helmet at times.

It's one sexy beast! And barring a big surprise, should be the fastest as well.

The barge-boards look like the work of aliens.
