Just spoke to A Newey, post box slot is primarily for cooling: driver and other parts. He denies it gives RB8 any aero benefit.

Stepped nose for Mercedes too.

I thought they'd only released a teaser shot ahead of next week's test. Though it did look like it would be stepped from that.

They did a shakedown at Silverstone today, somebody on the F1 forum I frequent hopped the fence and filmed it.

Petrov finally confirmed as replacing Trulli.

Also interesting to note it is the first time since 1970 that there is no italian on the grid.

They'll have to adopt Di Resta for the year.

 

[Nando]

That is the ugliest of the lot.

Seems a very short nose, or it could just be the angle.

 

[jlo]

Mercedes have tended to be longer wheel based though (I think, please correct me), so that may just make the nose look shorter? The stepped nose looks stranger on that though.

And Ferrari come to the party....

It's hilarious that any quick time they post is immediately regarded as a glory run.

 

[The Bear]

Do you do any decent Fantasy F1 games Nando?

I used to do one on another forum but the lad who ran it is packing it in this season.

 

[Nando]

There's one on the Ferrari forum I post on, but I haven't looked into it yet.

I'll have a gander at it tomorrow and see if it looks any good.

That looks a bit simplified. You only get 2 drivers and one chassis/engine.

The one I did you picked one constructor and six drivers. I think it was based on one of the big newspaper games.
