It looks like they've taken a blowtorch to the bodywork, and melted it to fit around the engine, with all those bulges along the engine cover, and the way the sidepods are too.

It looks good though - very organic and flowing, as opposed to some cars that look manufactured, with angular lines etc.

Laters,

do you mean the end of the engine cover?



most teams had that strange cut-away engine cover last season.

Alonso isnt running the new car until thursday. Fisi has it until then

Just shows that because Alonso has decided to leave Renault hes already being put at a disadvantage

The only big changes i can see are the sidepods and the rear wing , sidepods are ugly imho , just like ian woollam said , it looks like it's kicked in , but the rear wing is lovely :)

Or that Fisi has more experience in F1 and testing the cars and maybe able to give them better feedback :)

alot smaller at the rear. ovb.
ovb wont look like this in Aus.
red bull looks to have taken a rather big step from last year in terms of aero.
the 25 was the best car, a simple evolution of it :)
i find the step at the bottom of the pods interesting, the one that looks to connect the bboard to the underbody.

it is even an advantage for alonso, fisico had to do as much mileages as he could. Now they know a lot more about the car, and alonso can do more testing now with it!
