I want the sauber to win on looks alone,damn!!

I like what Ferrari did with the black at the bottom of the chassis into the wing supports; visually it makes the wing supports look thinner and much better looking.

Looks like either Ferrari are going for a short wheelbase or McLaren are going long.

As far as stepped noses go:


RBR and Lotus so far are keeping it.

Sauber is half way in-between with a step that does not extend to the sides.

Ferrari, McLaren and FI have the cover.

Apparently the media were told that their cameras would be taken away if they took pics at the RBR launch. What is the point of putting on a media event to launch the car and not allowing photos? :confused:

and no wifi provided... bring your own apparently...
flipping through the photos I have, they made it really hard to snap photos of this thing... really dark, black background, dark purple paint... I'll have some stuff up later...

I will say their "studio" shots, area really high res in case someone wants the originals... shoot me a pm...

I imagine they are both in negotiations to parlay their new drivers into new sponsors. Clearly carlos slim for macca, and who knows for merc.

They've looked dry for awhile now...I mean it's not a good sign when McLaren is advertising "Toonz" on the back of their rear wing all season...

Which makes the perez over hulk decision much more understandable.

"Tooned" :o

If it were up to Ham it'd probably be "2Nz"

Ham crashes (hydraulic failure), no confirmation of if chassis is a writeoff or not
W04 has reliability issues (Nicoberg had electrical issues yesterday)

McLaren/Lotus fast.

Ferrari slow.

RBR is probably sandbagging as usual.

Nothing too surprising.
