    Lots of stories about Virgin being the first new team to launch their car, but no pictures of it!

    Some funny comments on Twitter:
    byronf1 The Virgin launch has happened but not live on the internet apparently. Ooops. One camera, one cable how hard can it be ?

    eddstrawF1 Virgin's invisible virtual launch doesn't bode well for its virtual all-CFD car!

    NobleF1 If an F1 car is launched and no one sees it, does it still exist? Or something similar...

    eddstrawF1 EXCLUSIVE: If you want to see the Virgin car, close your eyes and imagine a cross between a Virgin train and an F1 car

    Wow, that's probably about as simple as you can make a front wing.

    Man the livery is gorgeous !

    the car looks really simple, but i think this is just a "presentation car", no way they are goning to race with that front wing .

    Maybe, but it was the aero in the back that made the difference last season!

    Fast or slow, ya gotta admit that Branson has a sense of style.

    So Branson owns TWO F1 teams now ?!

    Virgin & Brawn ?

    Or did Brawn become Virgin ?

    Brawn became Mercedes GP when Mercedes bought a chunk of them. Branson never owned any part of Brawn, he just sponsored the team.
