Formula 1 2013

Recommended Posts

I can't see much of a difference on the Livery between this and the mp4-27?
Nope exactly, looks like the same car, even got the Lucozade sponsor still. So few apparent sponsors compared to the Lotus, just shows how much these ones must be paying!!

 

Think suspension might be a little different, but I'm not really very clued in on that.

 

Thanks for the photo's Murr.

 

EDIT: Oh actually, they don't have that double bodywork around the sidepods on this car, which are also different shapes.

High noses are high! :p

 

Would kinda like then to take off the 'vanity panels' though if they're not going to use them, so we can see exactly what they're doing, but seems McLaren and Ferrari have gone for very similar designs (or are they all just copying last years Red Bull ;))

 

McLaren seem to have worked the sidepod design more.

The Ferrari looks so much nicer without that ridiculous drop down nose. The livery is pretty attractive too.

 

 

Looking at the top down view of the McLaren's the nose looks longer on the 28 than the 27.

 

 

 

Force India today too isn't it?

 

EDIT -

 

Is this it?

Dunno, the front wing upright looks different on that one (but lets face it, you can't really tell these 2013 cars apart) here's one from the launch...

Wish Force India would have had a second driver ready for the launch, it looks a bit ridiculous for a team like themselves Paul (not the most charismatic guy) sat their on his lonesome! :p

 

Someone needs to do a different livery this year to spice things up! :D

Would be nice to see Sauber add a splash of colour to their car's this season, Although I now couldn't give a crap about them since they don't have Kobayashi or Perez in the team.

 

Last season support was about 90% McLaren, 10% Sauber based on Kamui & Perez... This season it's all McLaren. Lets Go Perez!!!

The Ferrari looks nice! The higher nose is so much better, plus the livery is great. Plus, at least the pics are a decent size for a desktop background. Force India looks interesting too, although how much difference actually is there?

Caterham confirm second driver...

Giedo van der Garde secures second Caterham F1 seat

 

1359727744.jpg

 

Giedo van der Garde has won the battle for the second race seat at Caterham for 2013, the team confirmed on Friday.

 

Following months of discussions, the Dutchman has got the nod over Heikki Kovalainen, Vitaly Petrov, Bruno Senna and Luiz Razia to become Charles Pic's team-mate this season.

 

Van der Garde, who was Caterham's reserve driver last year and won races for its GP2 team, already has F1 mileage under his belt after driving in several Friday practice sessions as well as at the young driver test.

 

The Dutchman had also been part of the Spyker team's line-up in 2007, carrying out testing duties for the squad.

Yes! The new livery is MUCH better than that of the last few years! :D

I mean I'd rather it not be grey (still love the light blue of the past), but still this is vastly better, it couldn't get much worse than last years!

 

Sidepods are crazy small!!!!

So have they hidden the nose step with ridges either side? Can't quite tell.

 

Beautiful looking car! Predicting great things from The Hulk this year!

 

 

Were they going for an HRT tribute? :p

The new Sauber looks nice, loving the livery! It does look suspiciously like the old 2010 HRT livery though... :p

Lewis' Mercedes Helmet

Do not like. Too many colours/cluttered looking.

Yes he has to have Monster on it (unfortunately), but that would have looked better with his simpler old helmet.

Of course it's now Infinity and not Red Bull all over the car for the first time! Hence more purple going it in that there livery!

The Mercedes F1W04, with interesting choice of vanity-plate. Looks nice in the silver though.
