2010 Car Launch thread

Anyone think they could be bluffing? Sandbagging and all the mind game business.

well if we check from last year, we know that Ross Brawn before brawn had done no tests on track laughed to the times (said they were suprsingly slow etc)other teams did on barcelona tests because their (brawn) tests done at the factory( simulation, windtunnel tests) showed how quickly can they go around the circuit at barcelona and gaboom a few days later they shocked everyone with their times on track, so lots can be said before test have been done on track

here is some new information about the possible F10 b-spec :[ferrarif1forum.com]

for 2002 or 2004 they said something like that. And you remember 2002/2004 seasons

Certainly sandbagging is the only logical reason I can think of for saying this about the car at this stage. And with the amount of time and effort they've put into developing this one, the reverse psychology idea does make sense in a way. Certainly, after their 2009 car, they want to come out this year and surprise a lot of people with the pace this one has when it eventually starts running.

suprise would be if Ferrari wont be a front runner, they have focused for this car so long that if it's not a winner car it's a big fail from them.Certainly it will be better than f60 was

Beautiful. that HAS to be the renault livery... but... Elf+Total?

Also there's no TW Steel logos anywhere, who have a contract in place i believe

Circuit Thermalito

Liverpool Waterfront Circuit (WIP)

Aww, get my hopes up why don't you? >\

I've just realised - there's no fuel cap on any of the cars so far. I wonder if that means that, in qualifying, we'll be treated to some interesting views of the car being refuelled in the pitlane without an engine cover? That would be fascinating to see the car internals properly on tv.

Also: A sneaky individual has captured Williams' 2010 contender on video

Look again at the 2009 livery

Elf is owned by Total

you'd think they would notice people sitting allover the track with camera phones... bizarre.

Bye bye fat nose..?





Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

I bet £1000 it's a viral video filmed by Williams themselves

Renault, by the looks of the file name


I must admit I'm really looking forward to the 2 launches on Sunday. Firstly the Renault one, because it seems they could give us a fantastic livery, and also Sauber, because for the first time in a while, we have absolutely no idea what the livery will be like.

The 'Renault' almost looks like a Williams FW26, only with a baby walrus nose.
