At least when Max was around we had Nazi sex parties.

:roflw:

Max was at least spectacularly, loudly incompetent. Todt is just bumbling, mr. magoo incompetent, not entertaining at all.

Lollercoaster.. just like thr J damper again, the frogs cant seem to catch a break, even when they are midfielders.

French are overcompensating for their old school Frenchy favoritism? :eek3:

I read why Red Bull have those 2 humps on the side, which was then copied by every team last year...they're basically there just so that they can meet the size requirements but they lower the middle of the frame for aerodynamics. I guess Caterham has taken this thing to the extreme. Boy is that shit ugly.

I swear F1 cars are getting uglier by the year...

...new Caterham

Similar to Scarb's renderings/guesses.

http://scarbsf1.file...steppednose.jpg

I have a bad feeling the new cars will mostly look like that.

Then again, if the McLaren teaser is based at all on the real car, we might get out alright.

Oh, and the supposed Ferrari 663

I'm really liking the sound of what Pirelli is going to be doing. Instead of a 1.5s gap between hard / soft, they're aiming for .8s w/ less degradation from the hard tires...

High 'platypus' nose will likely be common in '12 due to rule changes. We'll get used to it just like we did with tiny ass tall rear wings..

Tall rear wings don't interfere with naturally beautiful curves and aerodynamic lines on the chassis itself, or even on the aero element,

You mean less degradation on the softer tyre? Having a harder tyre that's faster than last year, and lasts longer doesn't make sense

Last year, the racing was a bit too close once that tire's grip fell off the earth like a rock. I think it makes sense, but like anything...best to put it into practice. Seriously though, it'll be up to how much closer Ferrari & McLaren can get to Red Bull more than anything else.

It does, because nobody wanted to use the hard tires last year, as it was so slow
