F1 2017: The fresh cars are launched
Last Updated: 17/03/17 11:57am
Williams stole a march on their rivals by becoming the very first team to suggest F1 fans a look at the sport’s fresh era of cars when they exposed computer-generated preview pics of the FW40. It has been a disrupted winter for the Grove clothing with Valtteri Bottas’ departure to Mercedes prompting Felipe Massa to u-turn on his retirement. But the team are also expected to announce the arrival of Paddy Lowe in the coming weeks.
Have Sauber gone ‘old school’ with their fresh car? The C36 features a striking fresh blue and white livery with the front-wing also splashed with gold paint. Under the bodywork, the car will once again be powered by a Ferrari engine but Sauber have also confirmed they will embark the fresh two thousand seventeen with a 2016-spec power unit.
Renault were the very first team to physically unveil their car in an official launch, and the London event didn’t disappoint. As soon as Jolyon Palmer and fresh driver Nico Hulkenberg lifted the covers off the RS17, the distinctive wings and livery instantaneously stood out – with the French garment adding a large splash of black to their usual yellow. Renault’s two thousand seventeen challenger is the very first car where team bases at Enstone and Viry have combined with ‘flawless harmony’, and outlining his plans for the season, team chief Jerome Stoll said he wants to hop from ninth to fifth in the standings.
What can we expect from Force India in their tenth year in F1? The team lived up to their billing as the ‘pound for pound’ champions of the sport in two thousand sixteen when they finished an astonishing fourth in the Constructors’ Championship. A repeat of that feat in two thousand seventeen would defy most observers’ expectations but under-estimate the power of Force India at your peril. Youngster Esteban Ocon has joined the team for two thousand seventeen as a replacement for Nico Hulkenberg with Sergio Perez now unofficially assuming the role of ‘team leader’. The silver and black livery run in winter testing has been substituted by a dramatic pink makeover for the racing season.
Sleek, taut and aggressive-looking, Mercedes’ W08 was an instant hit when it very first broke cover at the mitts of Lewis Hamilton for a shakedown at Silverstone. If the world champions’ latest creation is as rapid as it looks, the rest of the field could be in for a rough year – again. Ultimately, of course, the car’s real pedigree will only be determined when the fresh season commences but for now the W08 will simply have to be considered a real beauty.
Will this be the car to inspire Ferrari’s very first world championship since 2008? Launched at the team’s Fiorano, the SF70-H instantaneously attracted attention for being adorned with an extra rear T-wing affixed to the rear wing. But will it have wings on track in 2017?
McLaren had long trailed a livery overhaul and the MCL32 didn’t frustration with a fresh orange, black and white colour scheme exposed at the car’s launch. After a string of disappointing seasons for the eight-time constructors’ champions, the Woking garment are optimistic of more progress in their third year back in tandem with Honda, with the Japanese garment having produced a redesigned and lighter engine for 2017. Sixth in 2016, will they be back in the top four this time around?
The only team other than Mercedes to win a race last season, Crimson Bull could have the best chance of toppling the world champions in 2017. They will hope to do just that in their RB13, which they have taunted ahead of a physical launch when pre-season testing starts in Barcelona on Monday. It promises to be an titillating year for the team, with aerodynamics experienced Adrian Newey overseeing the development of their latest challenger for the sport’s fresh era. What’s more, this is the very first utter season for a partnership that team boss Christian Horner insists is Formula 1’s most talented. Will we have a fresh champ in Daniel Ricciardo or Max Verstappen this year?
A revised look for Haas’s 2nd F1 season with the silver of the VF-16 substituted by dark grey on the fresh VF-17, With a chassis built by Dallara and a close technical collaboration with engine providers Ferrari, Haas are aiming to make progress from their debut season when they finished a commendable eighth in the standings. The launch-spec VF17 features a thumb peak nose and shark fin, with the car completing its very first laps in a filming day at Barcelona ahead of the very first test.
Leaving the best until last? The STR12 proved to be arguably the surprise of F1 2017’s ‘launch season’ when it was unveiled in a bold fresh metallic blue and crimson livery. The detail of the James Key-designed car struck too: a slimmed-down nose at the front, an ultra-slim waistline at the back. Now for the largest question of them all: will its speed match its look?
