Ferrari has revealed the 2017 car. The SF70H
https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/ferrari-presents-its-2017-f1-car-the-sf70h-876468/
Mmm.... The new car features some aggressively sculpted sidepods and has a T-wing fitted to its shark fin engine cover - exploiting the same loophole in the regulations as Mercedes. (I wonder if it will go as fast as Merc though

Just Red Bull and Toro Rosso on Sunday.....
To be honest out of them all SO far...I prefer the livery of Mercedes (what else) and Sauber. I expect the Red Bull will look great though....?

McLaren Honda are having major problems during testing. They think the oil tank design is the cause of it. Vondoorne stopped at the end of the pit lane!!
