Those Williams look horrible in the wet - although they are on a dry setup.

//Mike · 8 Oct 2005 at 23:55

Monteiro beaches it in the gravel traps...

Shame - the B spec Toyota looks good - it's got a few 'interesting' features on it

Would if I was allowed to. However - Martin did point out the obvious one.

The suspension geometry is significantly different.

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 00:07

I picked up on that one - must be significant amounts of investment from Toyota if they're redesigning a whole new car every 2/3 year!
