On the side view.
The exhaust outlets look different than the norm this time. I too like the fin treatment. Can't wait to see more pics from different angles. P Last edited by Lotusonpole; 29 Jan 2010 at 11:08. |

Yep, looking very good. And they haven't copied the Red Bull nose

The sidepod intakes are tiny. The sidepods themselves are very Brawn-esque. But it still looks evolutionary rather than revolutionary. It looks pretty sweet, especially from the side, but I thought last year's car was quite good-looking as well, so that's no determining factor. Waiting until testing to pass judgement |

It looks.... so long!! Looks like one of those land speed record cars. The fin does look good. The entire car feels like it's motion before it's even set off! I hope this time around it goes as good as it looks.

I can see one difference already - no Santander on the car. As predicted by Andy B

Please, can someone ban engine cover fins - even though the McLaren one is one of the better looking ones, they still all look hideous.

Uggh.
I have a feeling I am not going to like any of these cars. The 2009 car looks better in my opinion. The only thing better about the 10' car is the nicer wheel rims. Higher nose and longer, both ugly traits in my view. |

I don't like high noses and I don't like tail fins, so that rules it out from my point of view, but how well it goes is what counts.

He was saying recently that he added 3 points of downforce to the car last year:

Why are the cars so long? This and the Ferrari look like they have increased the wheelbase by some 100mm.
It makes my eyes hurt dragging them alllll the way from the left to the right in those side on pictures! |

Yeah, that's why - the refuelling ban. Only one or two of last year's cars would have been able to do 305km on one tank.

I've noticed Autosport have changed their lil mini livery on the left hand side of Red Bull to black instead...:
http://www.autosport.com/f1/ Wonder what all that's about? Selby |

Hello all!
I quite liked the colors and painting but that fin ruined all for me. I agree that someone needs to ban them as soon as possible, just like they did with those anwful wheel covers. |
