Formula 1 2019 Season - Car Launch Dates
Discussion
Well Toro Rosso have hardly set the world alight.
Perhaps there’s benifits we don’t really get to see, secretive pooling of data, resources etc or perhaps it’s simply a preemptive strike in case a budget cap gets put in place?
It could even be as simple as Ferrari wanting more power at the table for any new “concord” agreement.

Given they’ve got their fingers pretty deep in the Haas pie too I’d say they’ve the biggest influence in the sport.Perhaps there’s benifits we don’t really get to see, secretive pooling of data, resources etc or perhaps it’s simply a preemptive strike in case a budget cap gets put in place?

Especially since Mercedes seem uninterested in going down the B-team route.
the thing that strikes me about the 2 cars released so far is how different the front wings appear to be....the STR looks really laid back, while HAAS looks stacked by comparison. (maybe its an optical illusion from the photos)
the new cars certainly look cleaner...slightly underwhelming by Toro Rosso though

The Haas was last years car with new paint and the Toro Rosso is a rendering showing no details of the actual aero on the car. There's nothing to read into yet.the new cars certainly look cleaner...slightly underwhelming by Toro Rosso though

what i can pic out from my laymans eye on the TR...
Side pod inlet, very Ferrari 2018 shaped
Side pod seems really short and
rear wing end plates seem to have a very pronounced curve, more than the HAAS
barge board, the claws on the outside edge are not something I've noticed before.
wide sidepod mounted mirrors which seem to be wide and narrow in shape
turning vane, not connected to the top of the sidepod.
The floor has no slots or holes so probably nothing like what will run in barcelona.
overall 2019 observation ,less fussy designs are good but the amount of room between the front wheels seems huge without the mass of aerodynamic appendages.
not holding much hope for Williams, they've referred to it as a livery launch so expect it to be less representative of 2019.

Following on from Haas announcing a drinks sponsor that sell drinks that you can't buy anywhere, Williams have partnered up with a phone company that don't sell phones yet...
Edited to add a photo:
S'alright, but to be honest the bloody thing could be see through as long as it's a better car than last year's.

About as imaginative as ROKiT's website for products you can't buy yet (seems to be a trend).
Decent backer though in this case:https://www.pcmag.com/news/365842/rokit-has-the-wi...

Also might explain why they pulled out of IMSA this year and are concentrating on the NHRA/ F1https://www.pcmag.com/news/365842/rokit-has-the-wi...
