The barge boards disappeared...interesting...

Maybe those engine cover knife tips will be banned if/when a car rolls over and the thing snaps into a million pieces.

It's not really any bigger than a front wing, so I doubt it'll be banned for that purpose. Only on fugly grounds.

Now I like the look of that Ferrari

Put the barge boards back! Instead they should have got rid of that thing stuck on the front of the sidepod, it looks awful. And the rear wing unit, there shuld only be a certain depth allowed. The car would look a lot cleaner if the wing only extended back as far as the shell logo. It's fatter than it is high.
They should extend the red paintjob further down. all the black at the base looks crap

Great so we have to put up with the barcode until 2011... jeesh.

I think that looks uglier than the stupid engine cover growth on the RBR's and Renaults.

Macca's colours r red, y cant they give Ferrari 1b dollars n sponsor them! haha

the rear fin doesn't look too bad on the toro rosso, it just doesn't seem to fit with the renault

btw, if renault had that fin on at bahrain, i wonder if hamilton would have hit it?

Dont put the barge boards back, looks beautiful! Love the technical idea behind the new ferrari nose cone though, looks different too

If Honda keep them that colour I'm going to Brackley myself, with lots of cans of inflammable solution. That's @#$%& ghastly.

Is it just a trick of the light, or is that McLaren one connected to the front wing?

There looks as though there's a tiny bit connecting it, can't tell for sure though.

If it does, how's that going to work at pit-stops?

From a picture i saw from another angle I thought it was a camera, or at least just measuring device. my frist assumption was its a camera to watch the paint on the wheel shroud thing but who knows lol... anyone know if it's just a funky design they chosen, someone decided to mess around with paint of if it is actually there to watch the wheels cover/shroud effects?

Ah yes, it looks like a camera or sensor - that other angle was just a trick of the light.

Looks like a pitot tube to me to see what the air pressure at the duct is so you can tell what effect it's having with practical numbers.

What in god's name are Honda doing though putting earth stuff on the wheel covers? Bad times.
