The new Toro Rosso is beautiful. Best looking car on the grid imho.



I think Haas did the best job with designing the shark fin though; simple but really screams speed

I think the Toro Rosso as a car is beautiful, but I don't like the livery at all.

Haas livery does make great use of the fin, even if it looks like they copy/pasted from Cadillac's new DPi car.

Better angle helps tremendously.

I was thinking from that angle is looks a bit cheap/lazy.

That is pretty dope for sure. Mean lookin'! But, the pure white sponsor graphics are still too plain for me. Get a sponsor, dammit!

They should just put the McLaren logo on there really big to fill the void for now. I'm hoping testing thus far is a fluke for them, if they keep going like this that blank white space is going to be blank for a while.

I think keeping the car running is key right now, never mind lapping the damn thing.


I know we joke about Honda losing their way, but this will be really embarrassing if they can't sort it out this year. How many years do they need to get the engine to run.
