Alright, so I can reveal that I’m covering this year’s F1 car launches with Race Fans (formerly F1 Fanatic). I have collaborated with them before and it’s a genuinely great site with bang up to date information (and Dieter Rencken is a columnist on there this year too). I’ll link my pieces below, updating this post as they are released:
- Haas VF-18 – Draws a lot of influence from last year’s Ferrari while furthering its own concepts around the bargeboard area
- Williams FW41 – Paddy Lowe spearheads an aggressive change in design philosophy, both mechanically and aerodynamically
- Red Bull RB14 – Returning back to their classic design ethos of tight internal packaging could pay huge dividends in 2018
- Sauber C37 – Arguably the best looking car on the grid, their innovative approach to cooling could make or break their season
- Renault R.S.18 – Don’t be fooled by the launch photos, the R.S.18 is an all-new car from the ground up
- Mercedes W09 – Reworked rear suspension and beautifully refined bodywork should reduce the inconsistent performances of 2017
- Ferrari SF71H – A promising evolution of last year’s title contender with impressively narrow bodywork achieved through clever duct work
- McLaren MCL33 – Renault power now accompanies a very good chassis, featuring clean aerodynamics and revised rear suspension
- Toro Rosso STR13 – Outwardly similar to last year’s car, the new STR has had to accommodate a big change internally – the Honda PU
- Force India VJM11 – With an extensive aerodynamic package expected for Melbourne, this analysis reviews the little details that have been added
