If it produces a few titles I'll love it

I do like the "i tricolore" effect in the last image.

[What's Burning?]

Probably has the best cafeteria ever.

Here is the F138's KERS unit

[What's Burning?]

I wonder if it is filled with peanut oil or something like that for cooling. It's amazing how tight everything is in there.

Where is the KERS unit located in the car?

[What's Burning?]

I'm sure it varies but at least on one car it was under the driver's seat. I remember reading something about someone burning their back once when a KERS unit malfunctioned.

KERS and the batteries are heavy, so they try to place these as low and central as possible.

WB is correct, the driver was Senna.

when it first started I am sure they said it was placed under the fuel cell

Ya I believe it was senna in the williams last year

All teams will bring a raft of changes to Spain, but it seems that Ferrari too have lots of new pieces. So far looks like some mods to the rear wing. A new aero piece in front of the mirror, two different engine covers seen so far. Especially interesting is a new aero piece stretched across/above the intake on the side pod. I can see it on Nando's car but not Felipe.... (think I got those right)

**EDIT - I got it wrong, the new bit is on Felipe's car (the "Massa" on the headrest section is a bit of a giveaway

I think the cars look so much better now with the simpler rear-end bodywork, than how they were in the mid-2000s with all the extravagant winglets and things.

Remember the x wings used at monaco

I liked them with all the winglets and wotnot (except the ones sticking up from the sidepods).

I felt it just got to the stage where it looked a complete mess
