    Good to see Ferrari looking quick in testing, can't read to much into it as you never know who's holding back etc but hopefully they'll carry good pace into Melbourne.

    Lance Stroll has had a pretty * time of it so far, has cost Williams a day plus in test time due to crashing out twice.

    Some nice pics of the wet tests, cars throwing up sexy spray.

    Seriously loving the Torro Rosso, especially with it running the Estrella Galicia sponsorship. :100:

    The more I look at them the more I'm starting to hate the shark fins

    Ugly as *, they suit LMP1 cars but look horrendous on F1 cars

    Those suits do look horrendous, two wrongs don't make a right. It does highlight how incredibly low to the ground the cars are, they look tiny too.

    Some really nice pictures of the cars @Mr. Fawlty. I still don't know how they can drive at that speed especially in the wet because it's almost impossible for a human to judge distance at that speed.

    I don't follow it but it is safe to say Hamilton is still the main man?

    Hamilton has the best car in the paddock as things stand, looks to be in a field of his own.

    Ah right, well I guess that does help, he's quite and aggressive driver too though eh? He doesn't have the most inspiring character though so I've never really been bothered if he wins or not.

    I like Bottas style of driving, would be good to see him win one year.

    Wider tires, wider + heavier cars, wider rear wings, bigger front wings, longer wheelbase, more mechanical grip + downforce, more speed.
