Looks nice.

What's with all the teams not releasing backside pictures of their cars?

BTW, I think we can expect the new Renault to be painted with classic Renault colours, judging from what the team principal is wearing:

BMW Sauber to retain name for now

BMW Sauber is not planning to change the team's name at least before the start of the season, Peter Sauber said on Sunday.

Although BMW quit Formula 1 at the end of the 2009 season, the Hinwil-based squad has retained the BMW Sauber moniker so far.

Sauber said during the launch of the team's new car at Valencia that there were no plans to change the name yet because of television money and Concorde Agreement-related issues.

"It is not planned before the start of the season," he said. "We entered the 2010 season as BMW Sauber and this is the name."

When asked if Ferrari, who will supply engines to the team this year, was unhappy at the BMW name, he said: "No. It is okay for most."

Lovely car, the Sauber. I notice they've also gone for an estate F1 car but still looks top-notch :up:

Gotta say, for me anyway, this is gonna be one beautiful grid in 2010 :D

They'll be allowed to change it in the end, eventually

another photoshop job

So the theme of the year is who can make the sidepods as low as possible towards the rear? The Sauber sidepods seem to be the highest and furthest forward of the bunch so far - the only reason I know to do that would be for the rads to have been forced out of the way by the fuel cell - is the Ferrari still that thirsty?
