    It's only testing boys. I think you will see changes/developments come race time. Right now it's about accruing mileage for drivetrain development-more intense aero development will come later.

    I think the ferrari will be a runner. Yes it's conservative but it has a solid looking base design. Room to build on. Just my opinion

    These things are abortions. What a cluster....
    Feel sorry for the die-cast makers trying to sell models for this year

    An earlier Caterham tweet...

    https://twitter.com/CaterhamF1/status/428062817527545856

    They either said "hell with it, no more delays, send it out as is" or by "bolting" they meant they took bolt cutters to it. :rolleyes: :D

    From the BBC website:
    "Mercedes executive director Toto Wolff said that there were a number of little problems that had to be fixed throughout the morning. He added that they were nothing serious but to be expected with such a complex new car."

    I don't imagine that having a wing fall off is "nothing serious"

    ''Front wing failed and launched the car into the wall, ending the day effectively. No biggie''.

    :p

    Merc wins the beauty pageant, hands down. Red Bull gets second for the least offensive use of the penile extension, while Ferrari is third with it's not-as-smooth use of the same nose solution as Mercedes.

    I can imagine all the race commentary now...F1 gPs are going to be more of a comedy show than a race.

    On rear ending...
    Oh mercedes just got rammed in the back door by a bbc.

    On cars going airborne...
    There goes a flying Johnson

    On losing a nose...well you get the picture

    LOL!

    Looks like Ferrari and Merc with similar solutions. Red Bull is a nice looking car. I actually like how different all the cars look. Only a fool would write off RB.

    Haven't Williams always had the Senna "S" on the nose since he passed away?

    I believe so. Generally just the stylized 'S', but I think it's always been there somewhere.

    Cheers,

    The Merc's livery is stunning. Love the use of more black, takes me back to the West McLarens.
