the detail I love best is the new wheels are black instead of silver, looks a sleek machine!

hoping Hamilton will have the entire field in his rear view this year ;)

Yup.

think this will be Webber's last year at Red Bull and Massa's last at Ferrari.

Would be a shame to see webber go he's quick enough to keep on as unofficial number 2 and he says it like it is and doesn't care who it offends. Massa's days look numbered. So many great drivers and not enough seats for them. Formula one B league needed! Something with the same machinery.

Webber is good for a smack in his hairyoversizedgayfacechin...knobend...i met him at goodwood and my uncle met him at, something...can't mind lol (forgive the ignorance)... For the fella who seems so down to earth on camera and i genuinely think he comes across as the most honest and down to earth on camera and for Hamilton who seems like such a... (I'm not a big fan of Hamilton...lol) he stood and signed autographs for literally hours and talked to everyone whereas hairy chin signed about 2 and fecked off...about 3 feet from me btw I heard his 'chat' which was nothing but rude and talking down to fans then I saw a camera popped on and it was a pure Gordan Brown forced smile

Force India looks well. That Ferrari looks weird. Very square and the rear end is very bare :eek:

AUDI A4 Advant .
Most teams cars will feature this "duck bill" front end to comply with this
years regs which dictate a maxium nose height . At the coming tests again,
most teams will be trying out different configurations on the exhausts ,hence
the car you see unveiled will look bare to the developed car on the grid
in Q1 at Australia. .

thinking back to last year I remember Rubens being quickest on day 1 at Jerez!

the only one that will matter is Q1 in Melbourne!

the new tyres have a lot to do with that.

Schumacher said they were "more like an F1 tyre should be".

the overall shape of the shoulder has changed although it's not visible with the human eye. gives more consistency apparently.

don't expect any of these cars to look anything like this at the next test never mind Melbourne.

new McLaren is a beauty :grinning:

The new Mclaren really is a beauty, imo thats how F1 cars should look. I know its obviously function over aesthetics but F1 is the pinnacle, they are ment to be the best, quickest, coolest looking and most awe inspiring cars on the planet, new regs make them look more 'weedy' all the time its friggin' awful! Thankfully the Mclaren seems an exception :grinning:
