Lovely looking car. I had a days 'work experience' at Arrows a few weeks after the 98 Oz GP and spent the day wiping down all the painted parts of those cars.... Oh, and i made the tea...... Hardcore or what!?

Luca Colajanni said about the numbers: "Felipe is the number 3, and Kimi 4". Apparantly the whole merchandise is made around that, so the FIA just made a mistake

this will be very good for modelling

I love that car so much

The wheel hubs do not move so they are not movable peice of aerodynamic body.

Alot of teams are still running them so they must be allowed.

Still no word if ferrari have to change bits of the car.

The new bmw is here and it looks better than the one they were testing.

perfect for modelling, expect a williams pretty soon.

Looks way better then it did in testing.

First of all - the hubs are temperatue sensors.

Second of all, if they "don't move" like marcl says, how do you expect the front wheels to steer the car exactly?

The BMW doenst look too astonishing. Just a standard design with it´s flaws. (look at the endplates of the frontwing, far too conservative if you look at the solutions brought by toyota or ferrari), the only thing interesting ist the side of the nosecone.

I should have said rotate really

Will BMW get questioned like Ferrari? its hard to tell from that pic tbh.

The BMW is very plain if you know what I mean, like the drivers really its all a bit boring.

Once again, looks nice! Nothing surprising (model and livery) but just easy on the eye, will be nice to see what it's like out on track. Is it just me or are these new rear wings becoming less of a shock to us now? lol

Circuit Thermalito

Liverpool Waterfront Circuit (WIP)

On the Williams pictures : I think Formule1.com did a good thing to contract the new designer !

How on earth can you call it too conservative? It's a Formula 1 car. I'm sure they've done their wind-tunnel testing, and if this is the way they feel is fastest for their overall design at the moment, then that's the way it is. It's not a case of "ooh, I'm scared, let's just make square ones with lots of right-angles so we won't make a n00b of ourselves".

BMW is a pleasent surprise, considering the mess interim car was. It looks very developed.

I am leaving, I am actually offended

oh, and someone mentioned that it is dull as its drivers are. Ok heidfeld is dull, but how on earth a 7ft tall guy that looks like Gargamel and challenges for the title untill the last few races in inferior car can be dull?

I am leaving, I am actually offended

looks very plain

i think that is largely because of the livery - with no Credit Suisse and much less Intel sponsorship, it looks very bare. you'd think they more than almost any other team could attract a sponsor, so that doesn't bode well for smaller teams.

2009 & 2008 - They look decades apart tho!!



Looks like Nick has a new helmet design - I quite like it - If anything it's..... Different. :P
