A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

The Rich Energy phantom vapor car of course.

Per the launch dates there is indeed only 2 and thus it is likely a typo.

Williams haven't launched but there have been spy shots from their filming day right?

Overlaid the TWO cars that have been launched, tweaked the colours of the McLaren to highlight it more

I am still baffled by the size of that Airbox in the Alpine though. It really seems excessively large (and that's even considering Renault has had pretty big airboxes these last couple of years)

I hope they don't become the new Williams because an insanely large airbox was one of their problems. :(

Apart from bodywork, look at how McLaren's Both suspensions compared to other two they look more advance and yet simple to maintain good airflow over the car. Something to look out for with other car launches too.
