What's with the mirrors?

Redbull have developed what should be called a mid wing, BMW have some weird and wonderful aerofoil and that's just the 2 I have seen.

Atleast Toyota and Brawn s look normal.

Autosport (http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/75115) have a good piece on the BMW changes, no pictures though.

One thing I have noticed (which is nice to see) is that no two teams seem to have the same nosecone shape, among other bits. Glad to see some variety!

Nope, Brawn have one as well now.

Seems that mirror stems are fair game :)

It may not be pretty but you've got to hand to the geeks for reading the regs and exploiting them.

Admittedly, it hurts my eyes to see what Toyota have done with the front suspension http://www.f1technical.net/development/237
