From a purely subjective aesthetic standpoint, I like the looks of the force India car the best so far. It might be just because the high point of the front half of the car continues forward further than the other cars, before dropping.
They all look better than last year's cars though.

Yea, cars look way better. A lot of them have a long nose still (McLaren, Ferrari, Toro Rosso) but no more black dongs. Sauber's new paint scheme is pretty cool.
I hope it's a more competitive year. |

First pictures I've seen of the front wing on the new McLaren. Should be interesting to hear what the other teams have to say about it.

Red Bull uses camouflage, it's super effective (on the front wing). 
They have a...Front wing nose vent?

Some interesting plans on the drawing board for 2016/2017.
2016 - could see wider tires and fewer aerodynamic restrictions. 2017 - could see no fuel flow restrictions (850-1000hp) http://www.grandprixtimes.com/news/display/09837 |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I heard that the Ferrari have been surprisingly fast in these last few days. Even surprising Rosberg and Lauda. The good results of Sauber as well apparently seem to indicate that the new power unit is much much better than last year. What gives ? Merc shortened the engine design process considerably by investing half a billion dollars into the R&D of the new engine, therefore they had very few bugs to work out and were maxing out the available power by the beginning of the season. I would doubt that Renault or Ferrari spent even half the money that Merc did on the design and therefore ended up having to do a lot of their testing on track, during the races. I don't know if everyone will be fully caught up this year, but there might at least be some competition. What are the Renault engine cars looking like so far? I've been up to my eyeballs in work and haven't had a chance to watch any of the testing.
