At least Caterham has a nice color, better now... The car looks nice, from front view. :D

Caterham is still my 2nd favourite team for 2013 from a nationalistic point, but they really need to knuckle down and get to the midfield. Last year was embarrassing.

On looks alone...? :eek:

yes I am that shallow..... lol nope. I was a fan of Gazza and his want to be a giant killer. The team has lost the now. Gascoyne is no longer part of the team officially. I still believe they moved him aside so they could get Petrov in and kick Trulli out.

I still think that this late/early in the year that all teams should know who is driving for them. If they sign a driver that likes oversteer for example they are too far down the design route to build that into the car. (I know Marrussia are in the same boats but I am on a rant) For example Mclaren have been able to focus on making the MP4-28 a bit more understeery as both Button and Perez like a solid back end. Other teams will are still choosing drivers.

Caterham have also stepped back from "Lets employ drivers who can take us forward" I am sure that their new drivers will be the best they can get but will also not have the experience to say "The car is doing this and it should not"

I cannot argue with a word you say.

Yeah, I was really disappointed with how their fortunes turned out in 2012. Fingers crossed that progress can finally be made.

For those interested in the tech side - or are interested in learning a bit about it - here's a couple of videos for you. Scarbs giving his (visual) impressions on what the teams may be trying to achieve with the design of their new cars. Most cars included below. Need a good 45 mins for this lot, but they're worth a watch!

First time you've ever posted stuff I'd already seen. They're a great pairing Scarbs and Windsor, I hope they're going to collaborate on a lot more.

So Canada is not the champion of the world in curling, they're the champions of those that bothered to enter?
Right, you get it!

Yeah, i agree, and i think we can expect to see that more (i hope Peter continues The Flying Lap).

Perhaps you won't have seen these - some good content here, not least the atmosphere generated from Ted doing the first one from the pit lane and all the cars buzzing past :D

The same with the Superbowl - I found out the other day that the winners are technically classed as "Superbowl Champions of the World".....
