Lookie 'Thar, I think that's the Renault? Although
that's a pretty garish shade 'O yellow, Eh? And that Toro Rosso sure is pretty
blue...
And so it begins, that time 'O year when all
the Formula 1 chassis have that new car smell... But don't expect any glitzy
Ooh la la Champagne and Caviar fueled F1 Car launches, since them days are long
gone!
And don't expect to see the team's definitive
2016 season's challengers on hand, or their final hues. As at least two cars
will change their spots; Err colour pallets, with Scuderia Toro Rosso and
Renault running interim schemes, while Sauber won't even run their 2016-spec
chassis until the second Barcelona test.
Meanwhile, can it be true that Team Willy',
aka Williams F1 who led the way in multiple paint schemes in previous run-ups to the season kickoff will simply keep steady
by not shaking up its black 'N white Martini theme?
Yet la Scuderia, nee Ferrari has evoked
memories of the mid-1970's championship years with its addition of white to the
cockpit surround and airbox, while Red Bull updated its colours with the only
ritzy launch in London to ballyhoo their
new Puma deal.
Alas, Chris Horner's got a snazzy Swiss
sewing machine to propel his swanky kitted
out drivers, now all he needs is some horsepower; Hya!
Which just leads us to the others, as ZERO
idea what the Haas and Manor cars will look like, although perhaps Manor will
be in green? Which would be an appropriate choice - since that's what it cost
its drivers a bundle of!
As I'm majorly
Bummed over Manor's overlooking Alexander Rossi, but alas, looks like Messer
Fitzpatrick simply took the cash!
And what shade will thee Woking lads be
wearing? As may be they shouldn't have gotten new timepieces, especially if the
Honda engines don't speed up; Hooah!
All of which is even before we look forward
to the possibilities of radically altered Formula 1 racing cars for the 2017
season...
