The only thing I loved almost as much as all that Ferrari "joy" was seeing Button's flaming Honda rolling back into the McLaren.

Nico Rosberg would have loved driving for Force India.

Haha, oh wouldn't he just. He could have tossed his blonde locks as he flounced off.
I do hope the ladies hoodies have a little more pink in them than that!! I guess they had to compromise for their drivers or they may have had walk outs!

This is the only onboard footage i've seen from the RB13 from testing, and they show me this...

That came with extra twitch. I think Red Bull will nail the chassis down, their problem will be the same as last year, getting Renault to bring a PU to the table. Besides Ferrari with their dressed to impress show and 5th time out of the last 6 years winning the pre season testing championship, every team was not where they will ultimately be.
I think we're looking at a carbon copy of 2016 this year. But who knows, 2014 it was Red Bull's turn to pick up the table scraps Mercedes left, 2015 it was Ferrari, 2016 is was Red Bull... 2017? Ferrari might win those coveted three races, let's see.

The Red Bull will come around, just might take a few races. Still hoping for a some really good results in the 2nd part of the season. Would have been good to see a better lap of the RB13 though, got some nice ones of Merc and Ferrari then see a horror show of a lap of the RB13.

I almost 100% expect Redbull to be 2nd best this season. And to challenge Merc at some races. The pattern has been clear, the ones who are most confident look pretty average in testing, especially during the V6 era. My question is if Force India could challenge Ferrari at some races this season. I was hoping for McLaren to be up there, but since RD got booted out I sort of felt they have become a hopeless outfit. Change of management is almost never a good thing for the short/medium term.

Drivers Press Conference, a bit different this year. First Press conference, Hamilton, Ricciardo, Vettel and Alonso. Then the Second with Bottas, Massa, Stroll and Ocon if anyone wants to watch that one. Driver's wishlist: Ricciardo, "race in Vegas" Vettel, "race in Germany" Hamilton: "race in Miami" Alonso: "equal engines"

Ferrari have taken only 5 pole positions in this decade. Depends how they define "decade". 2014 -- Singapore (Sebastian Vettel) 2012 -- Germany / Great Britain (Fernando Alonso) 2010 -- Singapore / Italy (Fernando Alosno) 2008 -- Spain / France (Kimi Räikkönen) & Malaysia / Turkey /Monaco / European / Singapore / Brazil (Felipe Massa) 2007 -- Bahrain / Spain / France / Turkey / Brazil (Felipe Massa) & Australia / European / Belgium (Kimi Räikkönen) If we take that as THIS decade (2010-2019) * 271 Entries * 1 DNS * 5 Poles * 14 Wins * 29 DNF/Failed To Finish If we take that as the last decade (10 years) * 374 Entries * 2 DNS * 1 DSQ * 21 Pole Positions * 31 Wins * 45 DNF/Failed To Finish

I guess the defacto definition of decade is the current calendar ten year span. Otherwise you'd have to say in the last ten years.

"This Decade" can be the span of 10 years up to the current year or the bloc from 0-9. "The last Decade" or "The past Decade" or "A Decade" would certainly indicate the span of 10 years up to the current date. Either way.. those stats are horrible for a team like Ferrari! Oh and you sig annoys me for lack of "drivers" in front of championship
