That looks epic though I wonder how much lap time they are losing not being polished/glossy?

Having seen pictures of the Williams rather than just renders it's nose looks better in the flesh.

Sauber is by far and away the least elegant now.

You're probably right.
Maybe Red Bull are desperate to keep any sort of aero advantage they have to themselves for as long as possible.
Horner has said several times, jokingly, that RB get their stuff copied all the time.
Just look at McLaren's new front wing lol.

This is same man who said a title sponsor would be announced soon, the driver lineup will be announced soon and Honda were on schedule only to have first day which is comparable to Renault, twelve months ago :-)

Sure Ron, we trust you.

Watching Ted's notebook last night and the cars do seem to sound more raucous than last year. Which is good.

I hope the fake picture I posted above turns out to be right as that looks great. Wasn't the McLaren silver from Mercedes?

You're probably right. It was only Murray Walker going on about "silver arrows" come to think of it.
