[Temploar]

Not sure I'm a fan.

 

[Magma]

haas logo is ******* ugly.

 

[Temploar]

Been waiting for this day since Novermber.

RB13 release day

 

[Bacon Warrior]

The grey on the Haas is ******* hideous. Here's what it looks like in the light.

 

[Temploar]

Hearing rumors that the RB13 will be launched around 1pm Central European Time.

Should be around 2 hours from now if that's true. (11pm Melbourne time)
Hopefully it is, don't want to stay up too late.

 

[hey shorty]

There's some good looking cars this year and some stinkers.... no middle ground. Keen to see what RBR dish up.

 

[Temploar]

MCL32 on track during their run in Barcelona.

Engine sounds good.


Livery looks much better in the light, although it looks like they've got a billboard rather than a shark fin.

I was close enough.

13:13 CET launch for the RB13.

Will put it around 11:13pm Melbourne time.

Apparently the orange is a tribute to the original McLarens that were orange.

Aren't they also launching the Torro Rosso car at the same time. If so expect the reveal to be later on

Toro Rosso isn't until 6pm CET so about 5 hours from now.

 

[Temploar]

No stream for RBR's launch sadly... Suspect it will be revealed with minimal aero, Newey doesn't usually like to show the competition what he's got until Melbourne.

10 mins to go...

 

[Magma]

okay yeah that mclaren looks 10x better in the light.

[Temploar]

******* awesome teaser video.

 

[Temploar]

As expected it looks bare. Won't know what the real trickery is until Melbourne.

 

[Temploar]

Interesting nose design.... Has a hole in it!

 

[royboy2]

Dunno about breaking superstition the MP4/13 was one of the best cars of the last 20 years

 

[Temploar]

Hole in the nose is an intake for the S-duct... Interesting.
You can notice the small sidepods on the car, the air running through the nose will also be used to cool the engine.

 

[Temploar]

RBR keeping their cards close to their chest.... Floor and Sail/Sharkfin will be different come Melbourne.

 

[happy_eagle]
