It seemed like quite a heavy penalty for all the teams with the Ferrari PUs in 2020.
The coming 2021 season may show how much...if they all make significant improvements in results.

Hopefully they can copy and paste the Merc's Party Mode & Magic Mode as well !

Honestly mate . A start grid filled with spaceships would be awesome !

Isn't it ?

With all the talk about RB 'copying'? Merc bits but not mentioning others who are really copying them it's refreshing to know that MK are keeping the 16B's visible secrets secret until Bahrain
I'm OK .Thank you my friend . And hope you're well !

Yeah. And there's a PINK Mercedes ! But that's alright for the guys !

Red Bull tried to buy the Ferrari fuel cheat in '2018 from the cleaning lady at the Maranello Ferrari site offering a brown envelope containing a couple of 50 euro notes and a promise of a lifetime supply of energy drinks.

Formula one journalists deny making up rumours as click bait for the easily tricked.

The 2021 Black Arrow has been launched!!!

Mercedes has not revealed where they spent their two development tokens.

This. Is. Ominous. Especially when combined with this statement:

"We have spent our tokens, but we won't reveal how we used them just yet. That'll become clear in good time."
- J. Allison, 26 days prior to the bloodletting, 2021


In B4:
-FIA is letting them cheat.
-They have secret US DOD technology from the F22's secret successor.
-They are using ionic propulsion drive with inertial dampening and micro transporters to move the car forward without anyone knowing.

No das and that back end floor is chopped like everyone else's.
With just a mere 20 miles separating the two Merc and RB bases I guess security has been stepped up a bit to prevent infiltrators.

I think it is my favorite livery yet. Just different enough but still ties to the previous gens. I like it. Im really looking forward to AM and Alpine! I think those might be the two best this year.

I don’t think that will be the case. But if Vettel can’t beat Stroll, he’ll probably retire.

I think we will see Vettel return to form a bit, but we will see. Not to take anything from him, but the Pink-W10 seems to be fairly "easy" to drive and with his experience, I am expecting him to have a solid season.
