Sounds like that chassis is bust! Switching to the 01 chassis for tomorrow.

Sensors? Those are spikes, just in case Button lands in front of Vettel. Of course we know Vettel isn't stupid enough for that, so he'll likely avoid them, making Hamilton the victim. Which leads to another discussion about Hamilton's driving abilities and how he's not talented at all. Massa will rage too, because he didn't expect Hamilton to spin, even though he was half a mile in front of him, leading to another DNF from him.

Looks very similar to last year's car, they have probably done a McLaren and found their nose pretty much complies with this year's rules and have stuck to their general aero principles.

That explains the nose then. What is the team's official name though? Doesn't the team's name have to be the last name on the front of the nose, it is clearly Virgin in those pics, is the 'offical' team name still Virgin?
its not like your hiding your webber obsession.

Thanks. Looks to be the same as the '11 livery just with more prominent Marussia branding, and a few sponsors moved around.
Team name is just Marussia now afiak. Last year it was Marussia-Virgin.
It is still sponsored by Virigin this year though.
Officially they are Marussia F1 Team. There is something rule about displaying the name/logo on the nose of the car, can't remember the specifics though.
Name/logo just needs to be there, order doesn't matter.

Ah okay thanks I stand corrected.
Technically yes. Up until this year Lotus (then Renault) were always considered French even though they are based in Oxfordshire. It is up to the team which country they put on the license. Same as Caterham being Malaysian, Merc being German, RB being Austrian, and FIF1 being Indian. The only tie that they have to those countries is their owners.

Officially: Q3 Oz. Realistically: Now by the sounds of things...
The big difference is that I joke my exaggeration for my love of Webber - when in actual case I like him and Button equally when it comes to being on the track. My real obsession is with F1, not a single driver unlike others.
It also has amused me so much with people hating the homo-love for Webber I do it even more.
So bow down to WebGod for eternal love and salvation, heretic.
For me, never. I couldn't care less if they are at the front or back of the grid.

FYI: Lucius has now been kicked out of the Webber fanclub.
Only Shaneus and I remain. Fucking traitor.
REPENT YOUR SINS, WEBBER IS HERE TO SAVE US ALL. BOW DOWN.

You are correct, but you must be looking at different pics as the tip of the nose clearly says:
Marussia

So HRT posted a picture of their new car on thier website & now the website is down.
Classic HRT, they never dissappoint

Wasn't it HRT whose IT guy was the rear jack man at pit stops?
Personally, that's getting pretty close to a dream job. Working with computers and time to time run out and par-take in a pit stop in Formula One.
An old car surely? Nose looks way too high, and shark fins were banned last year.
They are last years perelli's aswell?
Although seeing as its HRT I wouldnt be surprised
EDIT: I havent seen the one on thier site, I got the link from twitter and noticed the site was broken - so thier website could be wrong also
That is the picture from the HRT site. The file name has f112 in it and is on the F112 page.
It loads for me, just takes a few mins.
http://www.hrtf1team.com/en/coche/el-f112.html
All the other info on that page is correct, probably just using an old pic as a placeholder.
There is a BBC stream I know people here have used, no idea where you can find it though. I don't know for sure, but I imagine there will be one for SkyF1 once that launches in March.
Keep coming up errors for me when trying to load for me
But yeah must be a place holder, really doesnt look like it would be legal
Typical you saw this immediately. Sensed a disturbance in the web-force?

This is all there is if your interested.
Lotus chassis is damaged, they are done for today after 7 laps. The chassis they used at Jerez will be used tomorrow.
The Caterham spun this morning after a suspension failure, it's being repaired and will be out later today.
That lap by Vettel was on hard tyres. Still much more speed to come.
Another Red flag, STR at turn 8.
I've a feeling RBR are going to wipe the floor with everyone in Australia.
The speed the car has out of the box straight from unveiling is scary. Its like they just know its going to work and be very quick.
Comments said last week at Jerez it still has the crazy high speed grip like last year.
The only hope for Ferrari now will be to do a McLaren and copy RBR exhaust system and be best of the rest for Australia.

Point 1. I cannot believe the BBC didnt secure Live Coverage for the opening race of the season, not even dissapointed just straight to anger.......
Point 2. Looks like its gonna be a RBR Mclaren show again atleast at the start of the season.....hope not even tho i'm a hamilton supporter
