2009 car launches thread

No, Reanult built and are gonna race an illegal car

And Toyota.

That Toyota looks quite different from the launch one already.

Still the cars do not look clean... in fact imo more so clutered in the wrong places which dont make them appear to be the most prettiest of things!

I agree. Winglets are meant to be banned but they're still bloody covered in them!

But the back of the sidepods look SO much better, than cannot be denied.

From the pic of the renault it does not look that much different from this years car.

I did not think they had passed their crash test yet.

Whats a bit worrying for Ferrari is mclaren and Toyota have both shaken down their new cars with no problems and the Ferrari had quite a few problems.

That's because their KERS isn't finalised as all teams. Renault, STR and RBR are all screw right now

That Toyota still is the nicest looking of the cars, especially now I've seen it on track. Unfortunately niceness don't win races!

toyota has sort of platey things sticking out the side pods.
surely, that's not allowed?

erhmm,hope they ban those ugly sharkfines,winglets and all other annoying things attached to that car,i thought i could see a basic simple shape this year,but i was wrong. HUHUHUHUH

if it wasnt allowed why would they put it on the car. It was there already at the launch, ferrari has some samer sort of wing, but then with a mirror on it.

On the engine covers, tbh I think the gain is more advertisment rather than aero.

Why would the FIA ban them?

It doesn't look good in any photo.

yes, last year's was ok, but this year's looks dreadful so far...


btw, the toyota is looking better and better all the time!

I don't like the look of the new cars, honestly, but we will get use it soon. They do not look worse than the 80's cars or mid 90s.

The worse thing is that all of them are similar this time, new rules give less room to aero innovations so they all look the same.

Well, I wouldn't say it looks stunning, I would say it does not look that bad ( :-P ).

Anyway, the worst thing is the rear wing, it is way too high and narrow!

Wow. That's certainly different...

Like (like isn't really the right word...... hate) how they've essentially draped it in a Spanish flag. But I'm sure Mr. Alonso will be happy with that. :P

It just looks odd. General shape seems fairly standard, but it's got some rather new bits to it... very, very flat at the rear, and the nose too.

As a livery, it is just a mess. There is always an orange border between the white and yellow, to seperate them, except on the front nose, where it has a clash. The blue ING logo doesn't fit, and the black Renault logo doesn't fit. The Red Total stuff doesn't fit. The rear wing has too much yellow, and the front wing has too much white.

All of this before you notice that the front nose is essentially a box.

It looks like it was designed by a random dude painting cars for games online. Renault have taken the worst livery on the grid, and made it worse.
