Re-gen of bigger battery means a big rethink of how cars need to enter corners, making life difficult for drivers without extreme cat like prowess, or in cars with unstable chassis

The article below headlines others copying Max, however deeper in it reveals most will have been practising First gear corner entry on the Sim runs, data suggested early on it's best for Re-Gen.

Surprising no one who knows how Hollywood works:  the biggest sports movie of all time (in terms of $$$ earned) is going to be getting a sequel.

I don't have a problem with this.  If it's boosting F1, that's great.  If the movie involves F1 people to bring authenticity, that's great.

No idea what the story will be, I'd like to see Pitt's character moving on to a non car role.  (Team management?  Maybe test/reserve driver, having an unrealistic amount of in season testing, and then having to race to show the young guns how to get the most out of the car 'in combat'?)

I did see a comment someone made, they'd love to see a LeMans movie, with Pitt reprising his Hayes role, joined by Tom Cruise in his Cole Trickle role from Days of Thunder.

Hello?  Colour?!

I don't know about the rest of the world, but in Canada/USA like 90% of cars sold these days are black, white or grey, so I guess that makes sense for an 'American' mass market car brand?

But I can't be the only one who was expecting a nice splash of gold, right?

(And while I didn't watch the Super Bow, I did watch the Cadillac ad they ran... looked pretty half baked, hope they're just putting money into the car)

I hope it's as fast as it looks

This is how you paint a car with sponsor colours, and still create a coherent scheme.  I don't know if it's the BEST we've seen so far, but it's very good.

We saw them on Ferrari car shakedown video, the edge of mirrors have flashing lights fitted this year.

Whole F1 circus in Spain turning into farce, track security out in public places chasing away onlookers, and Live timing feed issued for time then suddenly cut off. 

If Liberty & FIA wanted controversy to stimulate interest in new season they've certainly acheived it.  s

Red Bull go almost entirely soft, Merc are stocked high with hards, Macca & Ferrari have gone conservative with total mix.

Problem for us fans trying to gauge pecking order as no official info on times or on which tyres.

Some timing released by Barca circuit to Media this morning, although that data stream seems to have ended as it may have been released in error.
