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!

any pics of the new Force India it had a shake down today at Silverstone?



Thought they were unvailing it live on the net next week :blush:

They are. The shakedown was today though. Shakedowns often occur before the launch - that's how the shots of the Williams were leaked.

I wonder how come we haven't seen any leaked photos yet? Either Silverstone upped the security or Williams deliberately allowed photos to be leaked as some form of surprise.

Thats what I was wondering. But I can't find anything. Hard to believe that the journo's actually missed out on that. They managed spy shots of Williams, but not any from a planned Force India test. Darn.

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.

USF1 are also using a skinny nose. It's weird, because last year the only teams with skinny noses were Red Bull/Toro Rosso, Force India & Toyota. 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.

With regards to the lack of spy shots of the FI test...It's genuinely amazing that they were able to pull it off. I think they wouldn't have managed it unless they'd done it during the test in Spain.

Ah, one thing I forgot about Force India is that their factory is at Silverstone... so they could just roll it out at any time whilst nobody was around except for the circuit organisers.

Yeh perhaps they copied Mclaren's idea from 2008

That is such a well done video. McLaren should do more things like this - definitely brightens up the sport somewhat.

That Virgin is perhaps the best looking car I've seen launched so far, Nick Wirth has always had a habit of designing some nice looking cars. :thumbup:

:yes: I think it's beautiful :)

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



What a beauty!! I can totally see Branson saying that Virgin racing has the looking owner, drivers, and car :hehe:
