yeah Watercolours mentioned the black wing just a few posts above. i kinda liked the red on both front and rear wing.

and Copse is awesome to watch from, i loved it there in the praccy sessions.

Gary Paffett was driving the red front winged Macca today Lemming









**Edit**

Just going back to the Alonso/Kovalainen thing, when he jumped out of the recovery truck he did'nt have his Helmet on, you could tell its Heikki by his hair :)

Unless Fernando has gone Bottle Blonde ;)

that's the way it's meant to be. they've painted it in that style (I assume you're talking about the red and white bits on the engine cover?).

I think they've painted the carbon fibre black, usually unpainted carbon fibre shows the weave in the fabric its constructed from,


That wing is reflective
