Can't wait for the testing this week to see the new cars. I have a good feeling about Mercedes being in the mix this year.

I figured out what the Merc reminds me of. That horrendous-looking 2009 Force India:

Also, last year's Sauber.

Reminds me more of the Williams FW32, cause of the nose:

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

I dunno, the front wing supports on the FW32 were a lot more inboard.

That's not the new Renault, it's still a restickered R30 that they're doing some promo work with. I'm 99.9% sure of it, it looks exactly the same as the old car.

Official Renault 'preview' here, but you can't really see anything properly.

I thought that too, but, as I mentioned in the original post the nose actually looked lower to me ...... maybe camera the angle?

Also, the engine cover, but, black makes it a little harder to make out.

Not long to find out though, about 20 minutes
