I'm not convinced that it's all that different from the other cars.

Hard to tell from different angles, but its probably the side pods are so small the back wheels look really far back.

Front wing if defiantly 'Different'

Cant wait for official shots

EDIT: the 'Cooling vents' just look like they cut holes in the side of the car!

Alex Wurz has signed to Williams as a driver mentor. Admitting themselves that two very inexperienced drivers will be a problem?

Wouldn't be the first time they've done that!

Ralf vs Michael ?

Can't wait to see what they've filmed.

As your new GAF Champ I fully endorse Jessica as by the hottest women in F1. Ridiculously hot with a cute personality to match. Nicole is a glorified prostitute who just plays up to the camera. Can't stand her.

I agree about not watching F1 in SD too. I can't go back now. I'll be waiting for HD torrents to go up like last year.

No, but here's a short F1 versus MotoGP clip.

And a F1 versus Superbike versus Powerboat clip presented by Murray Walker.

Yeah I've seen those but neither is as good because we're not seeing a full lap. the straight line stuff, I don't really care for, to be honest.

I like seeing a F1 car in action against other race and street cars. really puts things in perspective.

Aye, though I'm sure Jarno is wiping away the tears of disappointment with crisp €100 notes, it must be pish being dumped so late on when other options for racing seats (in other series) are mostly all gone.
 
I'm not convinced it's a woman. At some angles she appears more manly than Webber and Vettel.

Look me in the eye and tell me that doesn't look like a guy in drag.

Would it be a book you (and other f1-gaf) recommend? Does it give a good feel on how F1 in general used to be, given it seems about the early 90s.

Edit: just noticed amazon has it on the look inside thing, maybe checking some pages will give me a better idea.
Highly recommended.

Jackie Stewart's autobiography is also very good.

I finally got approved as a member!

I mainly registered for the F1-thread, so now (after 3 years :D) I can finally join in!

3 years? Holy shit, I thought my 12 month wait was bad back when. Welcome!

Edit: Oh we're recommending books? Cool.

Not all F1 related, but any fan of F1 should enjoy it:

I watched the Murray Walker doco the other day, thoroughly enjoyed it. Love that he's basically universally loved by all in the paddock. Great to see him commentating on the V8 Supercars as well.

My dad just told me he's been given two free tickets for Melbourne Saturday. Just looked at the schedule and actually seems like Saturday is better to attend and then watch Sunday on TV, so I'm pretty happy ahah.

EDIT: Just found out it's a goddam corporate box between turns 1 and 2... wowowowow
