Sirotkins race was short...Not sure if it was already so last year, but this year I noticed that the Williams has a satin finish, not gloss anymore.

Love the pics but not the cars. The cars have more strange appendages than a sex shop.

Hi Jeff

Thanks for the tsunami of great pictures. An annual treat!

There should be more Haas pictures though! ;-) A conversion of the Tamiya SF70H to the 2018 Haas should not be too difficult. And Haas looks like top of the rest for the moment. Great!

Best regards

Flemming
