Lewis is cool, only because he dated Nicole Scherzinger (formerly known as a PussyCat Doll!)

Otherwise he's a bit of an arrogant dude, and dangerous on the track when he's upset. The personality is at fault, but the team is uber-cool

What say you?

I'm a Mclaren follower, for sure.

Jensen and Hammie is a good combination.

and yet another crappy design

whats up with that ugly top nose piece where the suspension joins?

[Baldrick]

blame the FIA. They want the nose section lower to the ground, the designers want the front of the chassis higher. I wonder what Adrian Newey will release.

and yet another ugly duckling

The rules may be what the rules may be - I still expected noses to look like the McLaren nose, starting low and sloping up. No expert, but surely that bump cannot be as aerodynamic?! Then again, most of downforce nowadays are from what goes on i.t.o. airflow underneath the car, so maybe it's relatively insignificant.

 

Was interesting to see this bump being made an air intake on the RB. And at least the Ferrari's found a handy use for it - you can now actually see their numbers!

 

Speaking of which - I really love the Ferrari design. Looks aggro, balanced, nippy, just schweeet! From the front wheels backwards, that is...

 

But I expect the cars turning out for the first race already to be looking a fair bit different from what was launched.

Very interesting how only the macca's have bucked the trend on those hideous noses! Lets hope they are quick and the other teams end up following them and not the other way round...

Had to laugh at Massa's comment yesterday: Fortunately they can't see the nose!

Colours remind me of those old JPS cars.

Part of why several parties nearly got their underwear knotted last year when "Renault-Lotus" adopted the "JPS look-alike" colourscheme (from the old Lotus team, of course) on last year's R30. This in "retaliation" to "Lotus F1" - what a epic eff-up was that, having two teams trying to be Lotus - using the traditional Lotus Green and Gold livery. Interestingly enough, having changes name and breaking their Lotus affiliation, they still have that "traditional Lotus" colourscheme - tickle me...

 

Anyways, back to the issue - people were highly excited and suggested subliminal tobacco advertising (read Ferrari bar-codes even being banned midway through the 2010 season on the F10) with the colourscheme being so reminiscent of the JPS Lotousses (Lotii?) of the 70's and 80's.

 

Yes, that is truly how ridiculous it's getting...

With the new rules in aerodynamic design, will Red Bull still dominate?

 

Looking forward to more competitive standings this year.

So true, I hope his character flaws don't get in the way of his racing this season
