They should talk about turning right every once in a while.NASCAR is talking quiet cars.

Actually they are talking about running the road course at Charlotte during the Chase.They should talk about turning right every once in a while.
Most of the diehard fans hate the road course races anyway.Actually they are talking about running the road course at Charlotte during the Chase.
That side by side of Hamilton and Raikonnen makes me wonder how much faster the 2017 Mercedes is than last year's car...
Not sure I want to know.
Either Ferrari have a legitimate Constructors Championship contender, or the Mercs are going to be outrageous. I'm betting on the later.
Actually we will know exactly how fast they are come the end of Q3 assuming it's a dry session.Of course, everyone is likely sandbagging a little bit in these tests. New cars are faster for sure, but how much faster isn't going to be clear until the light go out in Australia.
I just hope this season finally delivers us from the status quo of the last 7 seasons wherein one constructor completely outclasses the rest of the field and makes the race itself nothing more than a battle for the last podium spot.
It got old with Red Bull/Vettel, it's even worse with Mercedes.
Last season was the first season where not only did I NOT get up in the middle of the night to watch the races live, but there were several I didn't watch at all. All of my love and excitement for the sport couldn't pull me in.
It has to change. There must be some semblance of parody between at least a few teams. We can't expect low budget teams to be fighting for podiums, but when elite teams like Mclaren and Lotus can't even sniff a podium, there's a problem.
I think McLaren has already been far too patient with Honda. They should have spent the offseason sourcing a new powerplant. It's impossible to think Honda has any chance of fielding a race-worthy engine. Not this year, maybe not ever under the current design and layout. Perhaps going back to normally aspirated V8s would give them a chance but they are hopelessly lost with the hybrid turbo V6.McLaren might ditch Honda and go back to Mercedes.

As ugly as that is, at least it's something other than silver or black. It's also good to see they have attracted sponsorship. More money for the team to develop the car and push further up the grid.It's a bit late for McLaren to fit another engine at this point. It's not like they just drop in; the whole car is designed around the engine. That's one of the reasons that Renault sucked last year. They didn't have time to redesign the car around their engine.
In other news, holy shit is the new Force India livery ugly! They've taken the title of ugliest livery from McLaren.
Which is why they should have cut ties as soon as the last car finished the last race of 2016.It's a bit late for McLaren to fit another engine at this point.
