The Magnificent Twenty ride again!

Two things crossed our mind here at F1i when we saw this great shot of F1's class of 2020 marching abreast up the Barcelona straight on the opening day of pre-season testing at the Circuit de Catalunya.

Our first thought was to wonder why F1 had never put together such a great photo opp in the past?

But the second thing that came to mind was that this formation reminded us of a famous scene from 'The Magnificent Seven', the epic Hollywood western directed by the legendary John Sturgess, in which a unified group of gunmen set out to rid a Mexican village of the terror of a local bandit.

The question begs therefore: who among the class of 2020 would be your Steve McQueen or Yul Brynner?
