Pretty sweet but hey are so quiet now. The older v8 from a couple years ago that hit 18,000 rpm rattled your soul

I love going back to the wider and lower rear wing.


Hate the little stub nose though. Seems like only Mercedes has come up with a design to not have that feature and they are dominant....other teams, please take note.

The new cars look a lot better, especially the lower, wider rear wing. However I have my doubts that the racing is going to be any better. But I believe over the next few years, Ross Brawn is going to improve that too.

Sauber reminds of 1948 indy car.

I saw the new Williams car the other day and it literally made me say "oh, heavens."

Then the Renault the next day did the same thing.

Best looking cars in years. Here's to the racing being the same.

Found this video of the Sauber car on the track. Ole Miss fans will be jealous of a real Landshark...

F1 racing is easily the best automotive racing in existence, and it isn't really close.

I think the McLaren's livery is absolutely horrible.

Worse, if they'd simply reversed the black and white they would have ended up with this:
