Quite a difference to the shade of red between MS’s car and the one in the launch? Or it just the pictures.
Yup, I believe the new car is definitely a darker red compared to Schumi's

For those who didn't watch the F1 livestream, there was a featurette on the upcoming F1 movie.

Monaco GP being fiddled with to make it interesting? Just drop it and keep Belgium, proper ‘race’ circuit, and while we’re at it get of the F1 boss, we want passion and honesty from the drivers and teams, if a bit of strong language pops out, that’s life, some had better never go to a rugby match, they’d definitely be F’in offended.

Monaco, Spa, Monza, Silverstone - these should all be undroppable races from the F1 calendar.

And who thought seat belts were a good idea. Proper men drive with their elbows out.

I reckon the rules for Monaco should be thus:

1) Race is optional, but still carries full points score.
2) Cars used should be specially made 13/23 scale versions of that year's main car, to be sold by auction after the race with the proceeds going to charity.
3) Three cars may be entered per team, with the designated reserve driver using the 3rd car.
4) Liveries (if not actual sponsors stickers) should be from at least 20 years ago and thus evocative of past glories for each team.


Thus: teams and drivers still have plenty of incentive to enter, the reserve driver is guaranteed a race within the season, the racing on the day should contain at least a chance for overtakes due to the smaller cars, and we get to see some good paint jobs.

I'll have a word with Muhammed Ben Sulayamen....

Nah, 3 timed laps-so 5 including in/out, kinda like quali to set the grid and that is race result, or hold the race at Paul Ricard.
