Interesting pic of Ferrari wheel faring appeared on autosport commentary. Have they found a loop hole so we'll start to see those awful covers again?

Or just used to measure something during testing?

Myself I think the renault engine will be the thorn in the side of this team if they are front runners.

A little down on power maybe but the best for fuel economy. Going to be interesting.

Williams were 'upping' themselves in F1 Racing this month, but I don't see them really ever doing well against 'the big four' now.

Duke · 26 Feb 2010 at 19:31

So glad we have someone 'in the know' about things

Duke · 27 Feb 2010 at 13:09

That is great - ingenious if true.

MS is the sort of person who wants to know everything about everything. It's his nature/personality. Kimi Raikonnen on the other hand...
