French (Circuit Paul Richard) and German (Hockenheimring) Grand Prix both back on the calendar this year with Malaysia dropping off. USGP Oct 19-21.

Haas car revealed. Thankfully the shark fins have been outlawed this year.

Yes. The fins were hideous.

Williams. Interesting that they have a modified version of the fin. Wonder if we'll have differing interpretations of the new rules.

Haas does, too, but it's hard to see because it's black. I could only tell because the car number (8) is on it.

Uh to each his own I guess, but I'd have to describe the Red Bull car as . . . not good.

I think that's just a one-off livery for testing.

Yesterday I did not even notice the halos on each car. Now it's all I see. Another case of form follows function.

The designers have done a good job of integrating them. I just can't imagine having to drive while looking around that post in the middle.

The upper cross of the halo looks like a nice place for a nitrous nozzle to discretely put nitrous in the air just before it goes into the air intake duct

Yep, especially in profile. The testing photos I've seen have changed my mind about them. Especially on cars on which the halos are painted in light colors.

The word that comes to mind is inelegant.

They aren't bothering me, but I do think it's a mistake to paint them anything other than black.

Mixed feelings about the new TV deal. I loved listening to Hobbs and Matchett, but I'm hopeful the actual video coverage will step up with some prodding from Liberty.

One thing I do hate: all the crashes in the new F1 ad running on ESPN. This ain't NASCAR, folks.

Agreed on the production. Hate these new announcers.

Insane quali for Lewis or poor drives by Ferrari? If Mercedes is that much faster it'll be a boring year.

Interesting race. VSC won the race for Ferrari and Mercedes can't run from behind.

Leave it to ESPN to total screw up the tv broadcast. Those two announcers were really bad and the overall production was even worse.

What a ****show of a race and a broadcast. So. ESPN is just going to rebroadcast Sky Sports' feed all season? I didn't watch qualy, so don't know if it was the same.

The VSC needs to be tweaked. Totally altered the outcome.

No one could do anything from behind. M both the Red Bulls were within DRS of the car ahead for 10-20 laps, but Max couldn't pass Alonso and Ricciardo couldn't pass Kimi.

It was the same.

Really terrible viewing experience.

Brundle nearly put me to sleep. Speed Channel/NBC really had something with a former driver and former engineer in the booth. Listening to them was an education every race.

yep, the change to ESPN was a disaster. the sky sports team were terrible.

also, the VSC deal was stupid as hell. i don't think we can conclude anything as far as the Merc car running from behind. Albert Park is just not a good track for overtaking.

funny you say this. the only one that i thought looked halfway decent this weekend was Ferrari's. in their Red, it seemed to flow with the car. the Merc looks horrendous with the black halo.

Two Indy cars hit pit crew last night and then kimi runs over a mechanics leg today.

Are changes coming?

Also, that was a suspenseful last 10 laps
