Doesn't it just :y :y

Pity the antipodean failure announced it, I just hope it works and is reliable out of the box ;)

Boullier rather then Brawn is a bit of a shock :(

I suspect it's the odd front design, it will be better when all the new versions of the approach taken by the different teams can be compared at the first test in Jerez. I await Adrian Newey's interpretation of the new specifications on the Red Bull's. ::) ;)

 ;D ;D ;D

I really wanted to like the new designs.... perhaps they'll grow on us?  :-\

Mercedes have a vid on their website of the sound of the new car. Don't like that either if I'm brutally honest  :'(

A couple of the front ends look funny but they may change them for Bahrain testing.

Boullier at McLaren has a strange title, Racing Director, does that mean that Team Principle is still available for Ross Brawn?

Vettels turbo went pop after only a few laps too so maybe reliability issues to come.

yup ..but the Mercedes with Rosberg did 97 laps .... as many today as the WHOLE of the grid did yesterday ! :)

Must admit ... the Caterham looks a tad "odd" .. :)

I bet Adrian Newey is not a happy bunny. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I know it's early but you can bet Red Bull capitalise on those double bubble points come the end of the season :( :(

Whitmarsh to Lotus  ???

There's unveilings from Mclaren and Ferrari on sky's on demand service.

Infuriating video. 2 seconds looking at the car and 30mins listening to a load of old chat. Not least from the drivers who are clearly petrified of saying the wrong thing.

Stupid noses all round it seems. ::)
