Apparently the Ferrari is a bit of a Dog, but the positioning of the exhausts on the McLaren and Ferrari have been deemed legal by Charlie Whiting

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

For starters, they will all have a new aperture for "driver cooling" at the next test, for sure :p

Yip, after people seeing how warm the redbull drivers were I bet it turns out they're drivers end up parched too....cooling necessary! :p

new Mercedes W03 has one of the worst looking noses yet.

only McLaren don't have one, big call from them not to go down that route.

time will tell if that call was right.

Not sure about that, Trulli did a good job. Petrov clearly comes with a ****load of money though, I imagine that was the real reason for the change. Will be interesting to see how he compares to Kovalainen in the same car.

I personally dont think Trulli has ever had the ability to develop a car , he didnt have any input in the Renault ,it was
already a decent car which is why he got some decent results. From that he got the Toyota seat and whilst Toyota
plowed squillions into the project ,they rarely raced out,ve the midfield . .maybe the power steering wasnt the right
type there as well . .he only got the Team Lotus/Caterham drive because of his old mucker Mike Gascoyne . .imo Trulli
was just a safe predictable "get the car round" driver who like Barrichello was never a great driver in the first place .
Kovalainen will have a comparable team mate this year to push the team on , he,ll still be No.1 , but he might have
to work harder for it . 2nd test starts on Tuesday , the new Merc joins the fun ,apparently its nose is "really" ugly
compared to the other similar duck noses !

The mercedes is particularly strange looking at the front, it looks like a back of a fork.

Secon test well under way. Still no real surprises, lots of sandbagging, seems pretty close to be honest. Alonso keeps moaning about the Ferrari though for whatever reason.

Roll on Australia and the real test :grinning:

Ferrari isn't upto a lot through turns 3 and 9 - snap oversteer!

got a feeling the grid will be closer this year, some great races could be the result!
