    We will see who has the better cdf and wind tunnel skills...what driver can adapt quicker. All in all this is very interesting to me...pretty excited to see this race.

    Computational Fluid Dynamics is CFD not cdf.

    I don’t even care who wins; I’m just super excited to see everyone get back on a track, go racing, and bring a little normalcy back to the world.

    "Black Cars Matter". Car looks good but could care less for the reason.
    If racism is so important to Hamilton, why does he not have all black mechanics and engineers and sponsors. Lets see how that works for him.

    I didn't know that a driver who is "hired" by a team could then fire all management and hire who he wants

    That would be reverse racism no? This said, discussions welcome of course on tertiary themes of social-political components of F1, - if folks here want to delve deeper into themes such as Hamilton's sexuality, race and society, what Bernie thinks of racism, I invite you all to start a thread in P&R. It affords certain advantages and allows a much wider range of discourse.

    It's more art then science where the 'line' is crossed on P&R here in F1, it can be very subjective. I'm thinking we might even have a special section in F1, perhaps called the "backroom" where P&R and everything else goes for folks that go to bars looking to fight. (no judgement)

    Based on this pandering to the Marxists in BLM, I will not watch any of the races. I wash my hands completely of F1.

    The livery looks much better than last year’s. Black has to be their top production colour anyway if it isn’t bloody silver. Nice blue Petronas stripe. Cool!
    Hope they develop an unforeseen issue early they can’t seem to trace and fight with the minnows all season long.;)

    It reminds me of the Sauber-Mercedes of the early 90s, both in F1 and that Group C sponsored by AEG.

    Looks cool, although supposedly Mercedes should be silver. Anyway, I don´t care, it´s their car, they can paint it puke green if they want. But if Ferrari painted their cars black, no matter how good their intentions could be, I´d go mad.

    Well, that is the main difference between a Company which ocasionally competes , and Ferrari which was born to compete. Nobody is bothered by the color of their cars, whilst SF has always and will always been Rosso Corsa!

    I hope that Paint of Color overheats the driver and engine. Wth is with F1? Rainbow flags on the mirror pods/ ? Whats next Trans drivers? Let racing be about racing. We have a 6? time champ who isnt white in a German car. Wow

    Some would say the car is more British than German, but let's not go there ...

    I suspect that will turn out very ugly and likely create more work for you guys, not less...
