At least they've not used the thumb nose design...

The Force India VJM10: 

 

 

[Skiver Veteran]

As surprising as I find this, I actually think that's even worse than the Sauber!

 

I'm really disliking the fins more and more and that horrible step in the nose

Sauber C36 out on track

 

 

[Daedroth]

I think the shark fin ruins the whole look of that Sauber out on track.

What the video does illustrate very well is how much more aggressive the wider 2017 cars look compared to last years' cars. 

 

But yeah, shame about the fin.

[Skiver Veteran]

I think the fin on the Sauber is more acceptable than the fin on the Force India but I'd still rather it just wasn't there.

 

I've never understood how that can be aerodynamically beneficial. In the right conditions maybe, but surely when there is a cross wind that would just act as a sail and make the car so much more difficult to handle?!

[Skiver Veteran]

 

No stupid fin (no not you Valtteri)!!

 

Maybe I've not picked up on it on other cars as much but that floor seems much wider than others. Also a lot of detail in the barge board area.

Ferrari have released the 2017 SF70-H

What is that in front of the rear wing - on the fin?

[MightyJordan]

Orange Is the New Black!

 

[philcruicks]

That extra set of Fin's on the Ferrari is interesting.

Also strange shaped side pod intakes.

 

Nice to see different solutions, as is often the case in new aero reg years, they'll all look the same next year when they work out which is best.

 

and the Orange is....interesting...

Red Bull Racing RB13 revealed.

 

 

[MightyJordan]

Haas VF-17

 

[MightyJordan]

Now it's Toro Rosso's turn...

 

[Chasethebase Veteran]

Think this is my favourite livery of the year now, has beaten the Renault.

 

[i11usive]

 

[philcruicks]

Toro Rosso take the prize for best livery by far this season.

Very nice looking car.

 

Lets just hope they all get round a track as quick as they look like they can.

[ctebah]

Ferrari is showing some promise in early testing, scoring best times with slower tires.

It's gonna be a good year.

Apologies .. in future I'll tread carefully.
