New Year, new thread.

With the new car launches starting time to start a new thread. Here's your 2023 spotters guide. Looks like Alpine will be running the pink car for 3 races on top of this.

Here's a primer for the season with all the driver and team boss changes.

HAAS has released their new livery.

I love how Haas doesn’t show the new car, just digital renderings of what it will look like. Here, check out the new paint job.

It’s so Haas

Ford to RBR has been the worst kept secret of January and I love it. There had better be a Shelby logo on that car somewhere.

Williams reveal happened today. Good looking car, I can't wait to see it get lapped by the Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes.

Isn't that the truth. Nice looking car. Shame we'll only get to see it when either a) someone is passing it or b) retiring into the pits or c) spinning backwards into a barrier.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Williams sans Latifi. Obviously, I don't think they'll be competing at all for even mid pack, but Latifi was so bad, I will like to see what could happen if they have two drivers who can actually finish races and hopefully work a little more on development rather than fixing the car all the time.

Logan Sargent is a bit of an unknown but he was the F2 rookie of the year I think last year. I just don't know if one year in F2 gets you ready to drive that Williams shitbox or not. Albon will do just fine and keep the car in one piece for the most part I think.

Sargent is definitely a bit of an unknown, but Latifi was so bad, it would be tough not to get an upgrade.

Correct me if im wrong, but didnt that shitbox williams have some of the best top end speed last yr? It was just everything else that it sucked at … i do think albon does a great job maximizing the ability of his car

I know it is over blown drama, but Netfilx dropped a first peak at DTS

I watched this on a whim and now I can't wait to watch F1.

Didn't Williams sell out to someone who is intent on turning it around? Maybe it will start now! I'm gonna root for the underdog!

Generally speaking when a team has the best straight line speed it means their aero development is terrible.
