2012 F1 Car Launch Thread

Just reading the Gary Anderson review of the Lotus.

So far he has ripped just about every car apart.

If the guy is such an expert why did his cars do so @#$%&!

Don't know what adult films you guys have been watching...'Rear-End Shunts 2', perhaps?

I really, really hope you didn't intend that.

In retrospect, it's an awful joke...

I like that lotus, but my opinion can be biased because my favourite driver is making hes comeback with it. The rear half of Ferrari isnt that bad really. Looks kinda agressive. But truth to be told, Mclaren is the prettiest beast so far. I'm actually hoping it to be fast, so those hidious noses would perish

This isn't Formula One, this is Failure One.

Yes, thank you for noticing I am the most amazing being in the galaxy.

Maybe with both anti-dandruff and anti-perspirant sponsors, they can have a before an after on their team merchandise - one side with sweat patches and dandruff flakes, and the other side clean?

Better? Old tires and logos missing.. So it is unlikely even close to real.

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

If that is the styling (and they weren't just covers or something), then it's very '89 Minardi with those diagonals.

Nah it's a fake, the nose looks a bit high, and as has been pointed out old tyre markings.

woof woof!




Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

It's nice enough, I'm pretty much used to this platypus swordfish nose thing now it's no longer an issue. Only the Ferrari genuinely looks ugly.

Sauber... deary deary me.

What a hideous livery - I just don't get how anyone looking to be attractive to sponsors and investors deliberately makes their 'product' look so horrible. Black, white and red - what fantastic colours to build a livery from, and that's the best they can come up with?

Race teams are rarely good at liveries though, it's usually the teams that leave it to big corporate companies with massive marketing departments that have thought out design.

I don't think this is the 2011 Red Bull, the nose looks too low. Maybe another smooth nose coming our way?

If that is the 2012 Bull, almost looks like the yellow nose might be gone. There doesn't seem to be any contrast, even allowing for the treatment they've put on the image:




Edit - looks like they've got funny nose cameras a la Force India too...
