The McLaren is looking mighty sexy, but then again most things do till the clothes come off...

[Nacho]

Using last year's cars as basis, not all of them will need the platypus nose, McLaren looking to escape the look the most.

Ferrari put their young driver star in as a Force India tester.

Weird... Don't they have Sauber for this sort of thing (ie: Perez)? I thought FI was more aligned with Mercedes (di Resta's past, Hulk's nationality).

So this is how F1's going to sound like coming out of the pitlanes? I hate to admit this, but that's pretty damn boss...

[MrHahn]

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

So this will play more into drivers hands like Webber and Hamilton, and the opposite to people like Button and Vettel?

Get used to Platypus1..

Sauber's 2012 car has an ugly bump on its nose, boss Peter Sauber has hinted.

Before the launch of the unseemly Caterham, Ferrari officials admitted their own Maranello built car is also "ugly" due to new regulations.

For this year, the FIA is requiring the pointed nose of the cars to be lower, while the actual monocoque height stays the same.

In the wind tunnels around Europe, it is believed most teams have found that the best solution is to radically taper the nose, despite the fact it is not pretty.

"Yes, for reasons of aerodynamics, this step in the nose is almost inevitable," admitted Peter Sauber, a week before the Hinwil-built C31 is revealed.

The Swiss said the Ferrari-powered car has passed all the mandatory FIA crash tests and will be fired up for the first time this week.

What about the livery color?

"That is a secret of course," Sauber smiled to the Sonntagsblick newspaper. "All I can say is that the basic color is white, but the overall impression is dark, with red.

"In short, it is different (compared to 2011). I remain a friend of the color white, although often on television some cars cannot be well distinguished."

Rubens Barrichello got his first taste of an Indycar at Sebring on Monday as the Brazilian began his two-day test programme with KV Racing.

The F1 veteran, whose last hope of racing in Formula 1 this year was dashed when Williams opted to sign Bruno Senna instead, took up the invite to try out an Indycar after conversations with close friend Tony Kanaan.

Barrichello has no commitments beyond this week's outing, but told a Brazilian newspaper over the weekend that a switch to the category could be a possibility.

"I've always wanted to test an Indycar. I love speed so it's natural to want to try this," Barrichello was quoted as saying by O Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper. "As I have no contract with anyone there's nothing to stop me from testing it.

"I'm going into this test with my mind wide open. If I leave with the passion I have always had as a driver then why not? I love racing."

The Sebring test, which is held on the 1.7-mile short course configuration, will feature a number of IndyCar teams as they continue getting to grips with the new Dallara DW12 chassis.

I'm not an expert snowboarder by any stretch of the imagination, but that's a pretty tame looking corner for skiers/snowboarders

I'd love to see cars do what skiers/snowboarders do. It'd be downright insane!

Sutil was found guilty. Suspended prison time, and 200k fine paid to charity.

Not bad at all, if you're rich.

Haha. Good catch...still, I hope it looks this good. We'll find out in a few hours...really, they're the only hope of a good looking F1 car I think this year

Macca should hirer Jeremy H...that is fantastic looking.

I think I like this better than the JPS lotus/caterham concept form last year (no red total end plates)/
