Massive impact, I'd hate to see his head/kneck without the HANS device - even with it was pretty crazy.

It's not F1, but I think all the racing fans will be disturbed by this video...

Hollly fuckkk.

Oh yeah, the Lotus E20 launched, but I can't find any quality pictures. In any case, it looks good for a step-nose...leads me to believe that the Ferrari F1 designers just have a terrible eye

and this is why even though I'm a newb beginner I wear my hans and use all the safety equipment I can get...

[_R_]

Their "studio" shots of the car were 3d renderings... didn't bother with'em

[Redliner]

the paint & how they've mounted the front wing saves the car IMO. Because that looks pretty hot even tho it's a step-nose...unlike the Ferrari. That is by far the worse example of the step-nose.

I'll grab Sauber and STR when I get home tonight...

in the mean time: RB8

Did you really expect the RB to not have a step?

Yes, yes I did.

[yonson]

As did I... It looks like they may have some vents or something maybe to channel air over the wing etc...

[Redliner]

It's confirmed. I'm cheering on McLaren just because they look the best. Fuck the rest of the teams.

RB was the only team I was expecting to think outside of the box and not do a stepped nose...

Pretty sure they aren't allowed to do anything with that cavity.

[DrDickAction]

Yep, pretty sure FIA put the kibosh on nose vents in 2k8

[_R_]

Some more pics... Sauber had some pretty shit pics, no studio, so I just picked one...

[MrHahn]

People pretty much said the same thing with the double/blown diffuser

[MrHahn]

It's also funny to mention that 95% of these photos are front-on/side, I think the other 5% are ferrari painting cardboard a carbon colour and covering their diffuser with it

Kimi Raikkonen posted the quickest time in the first morning of testing in 2012 as the returning 2007 world champion set the pace in the new Lotus E20.

The Finn responded to the hype surrounding his return with four fast stints, and occupied the top spot on the timesheets from the minute he first left the garage.

His fastest time so far, a 1m19.670s, set on his third run using medium Pirelli tyres, was faster than any testing laps at the Spanish track throughout 2011.

Kimi

$5 says publicity low fuel run, any takers?

I recall MS having something similar two years ago.

[yonson]

I don't care he's still fastest!!!

If it were to come down to Kimi vs. Seb. I'd go nuts!!!

Fastest so far is one thing, but quicker than anything including 2011? I'd take the bet except that's a helluva stat to hold so early...and I'm sure the other teams have ran low-fuel too during all of testing of 2011...

And Williams had the best time of the winter testing last year.

The only team I recall that dominated winter testing AND the season was Brawn.
