Long have us Formula 1 fans waited for this. At the moment of writing, it has been exactly 90 days since the flag dropped in Abu Dhabi, which saw Nico Rosberg crowned World Driver’s Champion, snatching the title from his teammate Lewis Hamilton who had won the previous years and was the favourite to take the title in 2016 by a mile. In these 90 days, us fans have eagerly been waiting for this moment to arrive. The moment when the newly developed cars take to the track to prepare...

Make your own 2017 Formula 1 Livery with this Template

UPDATE: I made a version for the upcoming 2022 cars. View and download this new template here! About a week ago, I was wondering what the 2017 Formula 1 cars would look like, partly due to a whole list of posts on reddit with how the 2017 McLaren would or would not look. I was thinking about making my own version and adding it to the mix, but I did not have a clean slate from which I could create the livery.

It’s A Good Day To Be ‘A’ Felix

all thanks to this guy Long have we been ridiculed. Our name, dragged through mud. Bullied, because our name resembles a famous cat’s name. No more. No longer, because the hero pictured above just broke multiple world records. He’s the hero we need, but don’t deserve. Yada yada, insert more movie references here. The fact is, and remains, that this guy is a badass. He just jumped out of a hot-air balloon at an altitude of roughly 39 kilometres, roughly 120K feet. Why? Because he wanted to. He’s such a badass,...
