I love the spanish anti-McLaren paranoia. :haha:
Seriously, most of those photos are last years, I'm changing them as every team launch their cars - along with photos of their drivers in their new colors. So Alonso is gonna have to be in a McLaren suit until the 31th, I'm afraid. :p |

I'm excited for this year without traction & launch control. Drivers even have to use more control over the clutch at pit stops and on the grid, and I think they also have on-board starters in case they spin & stall the thing.
It should upset the rankings a bit at first. |

Gives the racing more dimension, because the driver has to be concerned about things other than just going fast. |

Two things
1) Take a look at those swept back wings :eyes:
2) If this is a promo pic, what is the torn and slashed sticker doing on the tire ?

its not, they're heat shield type things
the line across the top is a fin, the bottom left is a hole.
The shield helps with extracting hot air from the brakes, more efficient than just having an open wheel. Similar to the ones they have on tha back except those just have a narrow centre hole.
They atarted using them last year. I think they look incredibly stupid done up to look like the wheel. |
