Goddamn spoilers.
If the sea was vodka, and I was a duck.
I would swim to the bottom, and drink my way up.
But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.

Predictions for 2019?

Leclerc beats Vettel in a couple of early season races. Slowly transforms into Alonso vs Hamilton 2007, ending with Vettel losing his seat at the end of the season.

As a result of the Ferrari battle, Hamilton snags a 6th WDC. Ferrari wins WCC.

Red Bull shows early season speed with Honda engine, but not enough to match the Mercedes & Ferraris.

Renault moves up, almost (but not quite) matching RBR with a refreshed Renault engine and Ricciardo at the wheel, but finds themselves chased by a well-performing Sauber. RBR, Renault, and Sauber end up in a close 3-way battle for 3rd.

Racing Point FI falls slightly, ending up behind McLaren and Haas but ahead of Williams and Toro Rosso.

Constructors rankings:
Ferrari
Mercedes
Red Bull
Renault
Sauber
McLaren
Haas
Racing Point
Toro Rosso
Williams

One of my favorites. Such a shame the redux was on the high step nose of the Lotus in 2012. And then the tusks. Ugh. With the low nose here, hnnnnnnnnnngh. Amazing.

I think this is not the VF-19. Just debuting the new livery. I like it though. Maybe Grosjean can return to form in gold & black.

Agreed, looks great. Still no idea if "Rich Energy" is more than a front for some rich guy to weasel his way into extreme sports while maintaining a tax write-off.

I think this is not the VF-19. Just debuting the new livery. I like it though. Maybe Grosjean can return to form in gold & black.

Possible, you never really see the full new car until it's on track for testing anyways. Front wing looks to conform to new rules, however. Super hard to tell with the dark livery in dark pictures.

I like it.  I wish the HAAS was gold too to complete the Lotus look.  Are those the new bigger rims?

AFAIK, they aren't moving to 17s until they get a new tire supply agreement. I think 2021 is supposed to be a big rule change year (new engines, etc).

Williams got a new sponsor?  Boourns.

Yeah, was announced last season that Martini was on the outs

Guess they couldn't swing Apple or Samsung: https://rokitphones.com/

Some sort of Anglo-American Beer/ Mobile company. Just uckfayin' weird. http://rokgroupofcompanies.com/

Supposedly they also snagged some Orlen sponsorship through Kubica.

I feel like Rokit is going to pull funding halfway through the season when they realize they are not an international company, and this is a very expensive advertising mechanism.

I feel like Rokit is going to pull funding halfway through the season when they realize they are not an international company, and this is a very expensive advertising mechanism.

Not gonna lie, when I see a title sponsor in F1 that I've never heard of, I have questions.

Looks like some serious rake on the Renault. It'll be really interesting to see how Renault performs this year. I don't expect any quantum leaps forward, but I think they'll be JUST behind Red Bull. I don't expect Danny to snag any WDC's this year, at least.

That's the "special edition" livery before they go back to more traditional colours
If the sea was vodka, and I was a duck.
I would swim to the bottom, and drink my way up.
But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.
If you're having forum problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but your post ain't one.

Yeah, I've read that it's possible this is just for the launch, but those are their colours for the last few seasons, dark blue and red. Guess we'll find out when testing starts.

Either way, it's still the RB15 chassis.
