They look really similar but the Granada was made in Germany and the Falcon dimensions (wheelbase, width and overall length) were slightly larger. So I’m not sure whether they used the same chassis or not.

Meanwhile in Australia, the taillights of Ford’s XD Falcon, introduced in 1979, were very similar to those on the Mercedes. Then again so were the ones on the Datsun Bluebird introduced around the same time.

Are you kidding? I looks like a baboon butt!

So you’re telling me the Wet Rod is only a wet dream that hasn’t even got wet yet?

I think Ricciardo is just doing whatever he can until he actually has a car that gives him a chance of podiums again next year.

I’ve never seen one - I’m not surprised.

Glad I slept in.

“...further into madness...”

“Their own car” is a direct copy of last year’s Mercedes. They’re not making incremental improvements, they’re just trying to work out how to get as much performance out of it as Mercedes did last year, which today’s qualifying result suggests they’re doing. That does not in any way, shape or form represent advancing…

Simply copying doesn’t make an incremental improvement.

Clearly the FIA doesn’t agree with you. Nor does McLaren’s Zak Brown or other team chiefs.

Which is why all the rest of us white folks and all the BIPOC folks need to get out and vote to end this hell.

It’s on the teams. They knew they were taking a risk trying to do a one stop and those who’d put more wear on their tires paid the price, albeit in part exacerbated by the debris Raikonnen’s car left on the track in the late stages.

I wonder how much I could get for this exact copy of the Mona Lisa?

So you’re saying that won’t buff right out?

Yeah, I thought it was Mopar who made elephant motors.

Living in the lap of luxury, while you wait for the tow truck to arrive.

And they can’t even copy Mercedes current car until 2022, like everybody else will be doing if Racing Point gets away with it.

I can see why you might have thought it was Australian. Seems like the designers were going for something along the lines of the Austrlian XE Falcon ute.

I think it will be even more boring to watch if each podium consists of Mercedes and Racing Point.
