I'm most curious about Massa/Stroll.  If Stroll doesn't acclimatize to F1, is Massa a bad mentor?  If Stroll wipes the floor with Massa, will he be embarrassed for coming back?

Of course, I'm just excited about a Canadian racing for Williams...

I would choose Daniel, Lewis, Seb and probably Stroll.

I wonder how many teams will do like Red Bull and come out in a camouflage scheme for the testing paint job to hide details from cameras.

We shall see in just over a week now.

Sad the Sauber hasn't managed to find more sponsorship yet.  Perhaps they have but it won't go on the car until the first race.

Most of the stickers were from Mallya's companies. With Vijay potentially not being in charge by the end of 2018 (not sure how he is still a free man, to be honest), this is the right time to be showing the sponsor world that here is some prime estate to be taking, that won't clash with the "loud" reputation of the Mallya conglomerate.

PS: I just spoke to Dad about it and we both agree that the Force India is ugly. And I don't call many things ugly. (Specifically, to me it appears as if the designers couldn't make their mind up whether they wanted their car to be a Renault or a McLaren, so made it half of both. As long as it's fast, I suppose...)

You will find that it's much prettier if it's fast.   ;)

Interesting. I assume that the black vertical fin on the nose (between the suspension arm attachment points) is part of the test kit. There are a pair of odd little fins just in front of the mirrors, too. I haven't seen them on any of the other new cars.

Maybe they are allowed a certain amount of vertical bodywork and since they're skipping the shark fin, they have some options left over  ;) ;)

James Allison joining Merc is a bad omen, a guy who is reknown for tapping unbelieveable aero advantages joining the team with  the most powerful engine.
