Formula 1's class of 2017 and the latest Geneva previews ...

Official Formula 1 testing kicked off this morning at Barcelona with the first day of a pair of four-day test sessions scheduled before the Australian Grand Prix in March. All new Formula 1 cars were in action today, which has allowed us to complete this year's list of 2017 F1 cars. Second fastest in testing today was Sebastian Vettel in the new Ferrari SF70H. The German was the only driver at the sharp end of the field running on the medium instead of the soft compound. A sensor issue delayed the new Red Bull Racing RB13, while sister team Torro Rosso's STR12 received universal praise for its striking new livery. Subject of a lot more debate were the all new colours of the McLaren MCL32, which include a nod to the past by incorporating orange. The first day of testing also proved quite troublesome as oil line issues saw Fernando Alonso on the sideline for most of today's running. Fastest of all was Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-Benz W08 we already featured last week.
At the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, Porsche will complete the Panamera line-up with this Turbo S E-Hybrid. It combines a twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor. This drivetrain is good for a combined 680 hp. The new range-topping model is also available in the long-wheelbase Executive version.
Sure to grab a lot of attention in Geneva is this spectacular Peugeot Insticnt Concept. Not only does it boast an interesting exterior design, this petrol-electric hybrid also is driverless technology showcase.
