the new ferrari looks like a car from 20 years ago.


alot of teams struggling....
i think this year there will be record retirements...

ferrari could only get 100km's out of their car...
red bull have given up on developing their own KERS system, and instead are working with renault to make a package that suits them both.

bmw think they will be slower than last year.
many teams not debuting their car until a week beofre the season. which means no testing for alot ofthe new cars

the pic on the right is the new toyota unveiled overnight....
they are always a team to debut a new car early...

looks like the ferrari.. thin body and rear wing with a massive front wing... the banning of flickups means the front wing has to do alot of the turning...



seems this year is going to be very very interesting...
alot of the teams are very concerned they wont be fast

also.... some funny quotes from Stefano Domenicali about Kimi Raikonnen that i found to be quite amusing...

talking about Raikkonen:

"Kimi lives in another world, on another planet even, while our drivers Felipe Massa, Michael Schumacher, Luca Badoer and Marc Gene conversed in the paddock during the rollout of our car, 29-year-old Raikkonen was asleep in his car in the carpark.

Kimi isolates himself, Nothing that is coming from the outside affects him at all - and that is unbelievable. If he feels pressure, then it's only because he has put it on himself."

My mate loves Ferrari but was horrified at the look of their new F1.

Said it will take some tim e for the looks to grow on him.

Surely they could have let them have a full width wing, but just make it lower.

The new Renault:
Im noticing much winder front wings on the cars this year to give extra grip. The nose's are also fatter.

Also. Mark Webber has announced he will be back in the cockpit on February 11th for the final 3 tests for Red Bull in Valencia, Jerez and Portimao.
Even though he is till on crutches. He says that with 66 days still to go there is plenty of time for him to be 100% fit.
