SauberF1 launched today:


5/6 cars with stepped noses now.

[VXT Tim]

So the RB8 has a stepped nose but from a picture ive seen it looks like an opening not a step!!!!!!!!!!

[CocoPops]

Guys on seloc have changed colours in photoshop and it doesn't look like an opening.

[VXT Tim]

Brightened it up on my phone as much as i can, it's not an opening.

[The Batman]

looks like a nice trick just like fake exhaust stickers

Guys on seloc

seem to be ignorant.

[CocoPops]

Surely not!

I mean seriously. One goes: "Newey Is a GENIUS!!!!!!!!(capitalised for effect, multiple exclamation marks also for effect) therefore it must be WICKED!!!!!!!" Alright, I'm paraphrasing and trying to get down with the language of the Lotus kids. Another follows on: "There is an F1 CONSPIRACY!!!!!!, why else would they all have them funny noses" Again, apologies for the gramar, i'm merely quoting. And to round it off: "I bet Mclaren are quaking in their BOOTS!!!' I never go there, this reminded me why.

Doesn't sound like Kimi's too rusty.

Some more exhaust tinkerage on the McLaren

[CocoPops]

Interesting slots for the exhaust... more to be seen there I think.

Mclaren wins 2012 Constructor's Championship hands down. On looks.

Here's the HRT. Devoid of sponsors, it looks like something from a junior formula to me.

Interesting how everyone seems to be panicking about the McLaren. At the very least I think it will be an average car. People seem to assume that by not having the hump nose it will be dreadful. Also people are saying the BBC trashed it, but they also said something along the lines of "McLaren have proved not everything has to be a compromise".

The HRT looks like a go kart.
