Not much of a design gap between last year's model. But I do like the way they put the driver name on the top of the car. Makes it easier to recognize who you're watching
+1 the names are a nice touch. Car is an evolution as I think most will be this year. Its underway now for sure!!! New cars being revealed. I miss F1 racing and look forward to this season upcoming! I see Burn energy drink on the front end plates. Coke has moved into F1. I dont see much of a threat to Red Bull just yet.
Here are some panning close-ups of the E21: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeK-ytwCres]Static shots of the new Lotus F1 Team E21 - YouTube[/ame] Note the heavily revised side pods, coanda exhaust outlet, exhaust ramp ala rb, side pod vortex vanes, even more obvious asymmetrical bumps on the front top / bulkhead, the front wing has sleeker cascades/openings, curved end on RW & more gills...didn't see any passive drs system, must be keeping the good stuff for later
