Wish they would hurry up with that liveryby Laton - F1
Yeah but in English words ending in er, ah and a are all pronounced exactly the same, at least where I come from they are. So Massa and Masser would be identical phonetically. Like, Jimmy Vasser and Felipe Massa. Anyway, I feel stupid for bringing this up again but I really don't understand. Why are the Lotus tusks different lengths? I understand that one of them (the longeby Laton - F1
Yeah, but it'll bring us back to the mid-nineties when reliability was a concern for most teams. Then you get smaller teams scoring points and it all gets more interesting. This will only be good for F1. I am slightly worried about Mercedes though... looks like they could totally dominate the early races.by Laton - F1

How did having Mika as a favourite driver cause watching these "raves" to be particular stressful. Were you watching the raves or the girls at the raves? Perv!by Laton - Off-Topic
So now we have Felipe Massa Felipe Nasr Both at Williams. You couldn't make that up!by Laton - F1
Does anyone have any high res images of the Red Bull nose tip? It's quite strange.by Laton - F1
FORMULA PHALLUS. Macca and Renault ain't so ugly now.. are they? Sauber I can just about manage to look at. That STR though... looks like something you see at the back of Anne Summers. I wonder if it vibrates when the engine's running. I'm pretty sure bulls have their dicks underneath, not on their face.by Laton - F1
Butterface it may be, but the Ferrari has a nice arse.by Laton - F1
Well, erm... that doesn't show us much. They may as well have not had a launch and waited until Jerez. Looks alright. I liked the livery so I'm glad they kept it. One of the dullest driver pairings though.... not sure what'll happen.by Laton - F1
They say no news is good news, but is anyone else getting a bit worried about the lack of anything whatsoever? I really hope he pulls through, but the silence is very unnerving.by Laton - F1

Yes. It was their interpretation to a rule at the time where the wing could only be so wide. So they simply put two on. I don't like asymmetrical cars. Why not just extend the fake one by another 5cm?by Laton - F1
That Ferrari is hideous. It looks nice from the front but just ridiculous from the side - like someone fat sat on it. Regarding the Lotus... when was the last time we had an asymetrical car? (BAR '99 doesn't count).by Laton - F1
One of the Lotus "spikes" is longer than the other it looks ridiculous. I actually really like the Mclaren! Lovely livery, insane nose supports - looks ultra-modern. New livery looks great too - a big improvement.by Laton - F1
Dear me, that's atrocious. I quite like the colour scheme on the nose but the rest is tacky. Kudos for doing something different - they were risking becoming the next Toyota of static-livery tedium but this just looks like a @#$%& early 90's backmarker.by Laton - F1
So why didn't they impose a minimum width too, to outlaw it??by Laton - F1
... except I'm not. I've had to change my username for security reasons, shame since I was a member since about 2004.... I'll let you guess who this is.by Laton - Off-Topic
Can someone who understands explain to me why we have these "Aardvark" noses this year? I know that the overall nose height has been reduced to something like 180mm in the interests of safety, but why would the teams want to have the pokey out bit instead of just the nice, Brawn-esque nose which all ends in the same place? I don't understand.by Laton - F1
Hamilton's could be a reference to the +44 dialling code for the UK. Given that his GF is American that may hold some significance for him. What do you reckon???by Laton - F1
Does anyone have any info about the car launch dates yet? We usually start he hear about launch announcements round about now.by Laton - F1
Haha, I'm sure we'll get used to those noses just like we got used to the stepped ones. Viewed from the side I think they look nice - much better than the high noses we have now.by Laton - F1
