Every car I've seen so far has looked tremendous!
I love both liveries and as worrying the lack of sponsorship is for the Sauber team, it reminds of times long gone when cars were just one colour and much simpler. Other than that the car shape is nice and I love to see uncovered white wheels.
The Renault livery is absolutely stunning, the design is quite deja vu, though.
The Sauber is a good looking car, and it's nice to see they've tried something different again from the McLaren and Ferrari launched so far. A bit of sponsorship certainly wouldn't go amiss..
The Renault though? The livery's an improvement over last year but I can't really spot the difference between the "new" car and last year's one.
It looks like the car Renault launched yesterday, was R30 though. :p : But oddly enough, is that really the shortest car of the field? It looks like Renault has taken a gamble in design for the second year in a row. First testing day wasn't too impressive for them though...
Sauber is doing it tough. Looks like they had to dust off the '97 rims for this season :)
Even in the hands of PDLR the car perhaps was the fastest out there today.

He got eaten, with some nice Vin and a meaty little Boursin...... :DQuote:

Renault's vast improvement came very late in the session though, before that they were nowhere.
Nevertheless, it's a relief to see them at least capable of running faster after that dismal looking beginning. Even though everybody always stresses that testing means nothing, fuel loads, bla, bla, it still wouldn't be good for perceptions and/or possible sponsor negotiations if they consistently bring up the rear of the time sheet, especially with Kubica driving. Looks like Toro Rosso is the new butt of the field for now... :dozey:Quote:

Perhaps they want different look for the drivers by using darker yellow, but such yellow as Kubica's outfit is a bit dull, I prefer yellow of the car. The combination of yellow and dark is strong reminder of honey bee Parma...
