    Ultra slim coke bottle on the RBR, perhaps the slimmest I've ever seen!

    Looks like what should've been the RBR5 if multi-deck diffusers were banned in '09

    He pushes the envelope of design.

    Colin Chapman's cars were quick, beautiful but fragile.

    Given the choice, I think most people will go for excitement than something blandness.

    Sport cannot exist without this emotion

    I thought the rules forbade anyone using aero devices on suspension bits .
    Or , perhaps it's just the actual item , itself , that cannot be shaped to provide downforce ?
    It's also very visible in post #10's pictures .

    The pic resolutions a bit low. Do you mean the bit that looks like the finger of a glove?
    All other opinions are wrong....

    Yep .

    But , on further inspection of the photos in post #10 , I now see that that "finger" is actually attached , not to the suspension arm , but , to a piece coming up from beside the wheel .

    Sorry . False alarm .

    Keep those eagle eyes peeled. We've still got to locate the Renault exhaust exit...

    Just noticed on the Toro Roso especially, the air intakes above the drivers' heads look wider this year. I like this, They look beefier!

    Oh, and another 3 georgous cars for 2011 here...
    Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

    Newey came pretty darn close in some years.

    Let's focus on the present, friend. RBR are a young team compared to Ferrari. Their budget is also more constrained than McLaren and Ferrari. I think they've accomplished a lot for such a short amount of time. Not to mention a better designed car for 2011.

    Love the new Williams, I hope they keep the final paint job similar to that.

    Going to be difficult to tell the Red Bull & STR apart again.. although I suppose one will be nearer the front than the other will
