Whats the go there? Do they splash it on the car and as it drives it shows air flow or something?

Yep exactly, they can go back to the factory with the pics and make sure all the wind tunnel data & cfd modelling actually line up with the real car on-track.

George Russell in the garage, looks like williams are not that far away from joining in the action.

The new alfa, i certainly wouldn't call it stunning but still heaps better than the Racing Point thing. I guess they couldn't use too much red as it would just look like the Ferrari.

*insert Alfa joke about reliability here*

I stll wonder how his eyebrows fit in the helmet... haven't seen such solid face grubs since Esteban Guiterriez drove.

RED FLAG
Haas stop again
For the second time today the VF-19 has ground to a halt - this time with Romain Grosjean at the wheel.
The Frenchman is out of the car and currently giving the stricken machine a look over alongside trackside marshals.
That's three stoppages in as many days now for Haas.

Williams and Racing Point would be jumping for joy.... Actually are Racing Point even there at testing?

When Senna died, Formula 1 died for me.

*insert Alfa joke about reliability here*

in a world first, Alfa is set to be closing in on technology that would see carbon fibre be able to rust away..

 

[Mr Invisible]

Uh Oh ...

Testing 2 and this happens.

I gotta say the Williams actually looks better on track than it did from the original pictures they released.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Still looks like a tube of toothpaste.

Gasly completely wrecks the arse end of his car in testing.

This is an awesome view, shame it ain't a real flying lap though. You will have to click through to youtube though, stupid liberty media don't allow embedding.
