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.

That is fake… It’s the same account that supposedly watched the session and said that the RB18 was wearing a “white camo livery”… Don’t believe a word
