For be, beauty begins at the nose & front wing of a car. That's why I love the Williams & hate the mclaren, with its vulgar wing. Give the Virgin a better front wing and it'd be perfect. C'mon lotus! do us proud!

Of the four, only 1 was consistently quick and that was Red Bull - and they were the only one to ditch the skinny nose for a fat one and they were quicker with the fat one.Gaz wrote:any pics of the new Force India it had a shake down today at Silverstone?Thats what I was wondering.

Interesting to see Virgin are the only team this year not to have a fat tall nose. Despite coming out as a clear confident them, still their inexperience is showing. I'd say Lotus are in much better shape considering they've ex-toyota guys onboard who understand info from last years car, and know the best way to build a car this year.
Doesn't say much for Campos then. Don't even know who's working for them. Poor Bruno Senna.

Some better views of it. I think it looks quite cool actually. That front wing looks a little on the simple side though.
