Where is the orange, I just see a large yellow SAP logo?
To me and my eye it is bright orange. All of the people have different vision and ways of identifying colors and as i said to me it looks bright orange (remember the blue/gold dress dilemma? :P )
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Holy sh*t, the wait is being too long!!!

Crash test passed is always good. At least the process of building the car is on time. Boullier says that the he feels that "all the piece fit this time". But you know, its Boullier... :D

Remember in 3 weeks time, we'll start seeing the release of the 2017 cars. That will be the start of an avalanche of events and really the beginning of the season. That month before the first race has 2 week long test sessions.

BP Replaces Total as Renault Fuel Partner
http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/3488 ... l-partner/

So some Renault engines running Esso/Mobil 1
Other Renault engines running BP/Castrol

Where does this leave Mclaren?
