Not a good start.. and that after trouble free running yesterday. I hope they can get back out today, they're losing valuable time.

Yup, its unfortunate to say the least. By the way, what do you think of the car's looks now that more footage has been released?

I can't deny it has started to grow on me haha. I was very disappointed when I saw the reveal, I still find the studio pictures ugly, but out on track I think it actually looks good. When it runs....
What do you think?

Almost :p I prefer the looks of Renault and Mercedes though. Ferrari Red never bores me either!
