They all have that similar fin at the back of the cockpit this year.

McLaren are slowly but surely falling apart gradually as each year passes.

Mercedes are once again a step ahead. The advantage of being way out in front of the switch when it occurred. Everyone may have caught up with the 2016 Merc but the 2017 is again a step ahead of that.

Re: 2017 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

Yes it is not looking very good for McLaren again, i was hoping there would be a huge improvement.

Re: 2017 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

When the dust settles and the rules change for the better, Hamilton will return home to McLaren, it's inevitable, only then can I see McLaren getting out of this mess they're in, back to the silver livery too I hope. People hate the guy, although it's common to hate the guy that wins apparently. But by god he can drive a car, this lad can drag cars way above their expected finishing position and was single handedly keeping McLaren relevant just before he left.

Re: 2017 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

I would respond to that, but I did promise I wouldn't say anything negative about Hamilton this season.

Sad to see McLaren going backwards not forwards. Again this season, I will be cheering on ABM (Anyone But Mercedes) as one team dominating just gets boring as Hell after a while. I said it when Ferrari dominated, I said it when Red Bull dominated.

Re: 2017 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

With the Honda engine, it would need more than Hamilton back at McLaren, it really needed another team to be running it, maybe one of the minnows (oops, there aren't any left now). When McLaren were tops, they had the Mercedes engine, and since the season changes don't seem to be much to do with engines, it's likely the Mercedes is still going to be the one to beat.

Renault have also been disappointing, especially compared to Red Bull with the Tag Heuer branded Renault engine (after they couldn't find an alternative engine supplier when wanting to move from Renault.

And of course, poor old Sauber, with the minnows gone, the pressure is now on them.

Re: 2017 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

I think McLaren may be even worse than last year based on the tests so far. Ferrari seem very very strong according to Hamilton.

Very sad news just breaking of a true legend who has passed away.:(

Re: 2017 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

Based on what we have seen in testing, i would say Ferrari are a genuine threat to Mercedes dominance which is a very good thing in my opinion, we could do with a few more strong teams to spice things up even more though! Roll on the Australia on March 26rd, lets get this season rolling!

Re: 2017 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

Almost betting Mercedes were sandbagging the car.

Re: 2017 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

Good result in qualifying for Lewis, and it is nice to see the Ferrari's so close, could make for a less boring season!

Re: 2017 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

That's all I want this season, if Hamilton has to win could it at least be competitive and not a complete whitewash.
