I'm very excited for the launches, but thinking about it.. all the cars will look the same as they did in 2012?

There will be a few changes, but mostly at the rear I suspect. Some will look a bit different if they use the modesty panels on the nose step.

McLaren might do something a bit left-field like the past few seasons, but I don't expect anything major.

You can take it off for less drag on the straights!

Very good Q&A with Ferrari's Pat Fry - http://translate.google.com/transla...ht-fantastisch-aber-okay-6502380.html&act=url

They will be using pull rod front suspension again.

Cal reminder set.. Tissues ready.. Just in case it looks that good :O

Wasn't it Lotus last year that did the online launch that was a complete fail, didn't start on time, stream didn't work and it was found to be pre-recorded anyway?

Anyway, I'm braced for more epic Kimi not-botheredness. "Ya. It's a car. Like last years"
