    They're all looking pretty good. Everyone got the wrong impression when the teams tested the 09 wings with the 08 chassis'. I'm a McLaren fan, but that Ferrari is gorgeous in it's paint.

    From the top it looks almost exactly like the Ferrari. I think the car looks good.

    At the expense of being a pain in the ass, but are there any track photo's yet or did they just unveil the car? By the way thanks for the links to the other high res shots.

    Agreed. Although the wing difference from last year is upsetting my stomach.

    +1 but the Mclaren has nice lines in the high res photos posted here. Thanks to the member(s) who posted the Mclaren photos.

    Can't say I like it much, Steve, although the number 1 on the front is quite nice. ;)

    What a beautiful car. Should be a contender.

    Interesting that the front wing retains a lot of curve similar to the last few years, whereas BMW, Toyota and Ferrari didn't go that way ..

    The car looks amazing. I'm glad to see these cars are looking better than we all feared. This Mclaren looks better than the 08 version!

    I'm not a fan of the looks. Honestly, all the cars look the same this year --boring.

    Someone fill me in, I thought Santander was moving to Ferrari. Is that supposed to happen next year?

    I think it looks ugly

    Its got bigger looking side pods from the profile view and a smaller top air intake.

    Anyone notice the exhaust is completely shrouded in body work. I wonder how they are going to be able to keep it cool in side there.

    On the other hand, I think the F60 looks absolutely amazing!

    I wonder how much Hilton Hotels had to pay for that almost invisible logo on the rear wing sideplate...
