As usual, McLaren International has produced a beautiful car, despite the ugly 09 F1 wing regs.

[QUOTE]Renault launch R29 in Portugal
Renault launched their 2009 challenger, the R29, this morning in Portugal, becoming the fourth team to put their challenger on display. As depicted in images leaked on the Internet yesterday by eagle-eyed photographers, the R29 features minor revisions to its livery compared to the previous two years, with the team now sporting significant 'Total' branding, parent company of Elf who is the fuel and lubricant supplier of Renault.
The new design features red front and rear wing endplates, thanks to Total's arrival on the car, while the main body of car features more orange and yellow, the colours of title sponsor ING, who stays with the team for a third year.
Aesthetically speaking, the R29 features a very distinctive front nose, much larger, squarer and bulkier than its rivals. The R29 also features the anvil wing, as used by the team in 2008, with Toyota the only other team to date to have run it on their 2009 car.
Nelson Piquet jr. got the honour of driving the R29 on its first laps this morning, with it due to complete more mileage as the test here in Portim

Can I say I am actually beginning to like the cars?
I'm lovin lookin at the slicks, and as long as I'm not seeing it straight on so I can see how narrow the rear wing it, it's all good.
