Yep, those cars look great indeed. In comparison to the last years, they look so much more beautiful, including the paintjob.
Vettel's helmet is as simple as beautiful.
If he changes something, he could change the white part throughout the season, so he still would be recognized by the German flag. Great and unique helmet.
Alonso's helmet looks great in the McLaren, way better than 2007.

The Honda actually has a sweet sound.

There's a rumour going on that Marussia will show up with Honda engines and Kevin Magnussen in Melbourne. 2014 spec cars though. Would be very interesting if they did show up, because the ball is all in Honda's court whether it will happen or not.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Only if they let Aguri Suzuki run it again.

Didn't Marussia get halfway through building the 2015 car anyway?

They have / had a wind tunnel model, which means they have the designs to the 2015 chassis.

Please do Honda. The Sauber and Force India situations are scary enough.... We cannot lose another team.

I doubt Marussia will be back. They already sold their factory to Haas, didn't they?

Interesting to see Ferrari with some pace in testing, hopefully its not just fuel difference or higher engine revs.

It is getting increasingly optimistic from the Manor camp. But I guess we can get rid of the Marussia name now...

So who will be the new Yuji Ide Honda will throw last minute in a F1 car?

Too bad the best F1 drivers Japan has (Nakajima and Kobayashi) are currently tied to Toyota.

YES!

Although I doubt he would give up his career in Indycar, to drive as field filler in F1. And he is alreay 38, maybe if they want someone with experience he might be perfect.

I hope marussia don't come back. They've been closed too long, I don't see them getting any testing, they'll pitch up in aus with another disappointing car and probably struggle around all year.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love them to turn up and be good, but there's no reason to believe they would. They've never produced. The likes of sauber and force India make some poor cars, but they've also made good cars. Marussia have been consistently poor.
I'd love to be wrong, but I doubt it.
