I just want to see now if that Autosport article had any merit at all or was just a hype building exercise.

Will be tuning in

Oooh 'citin!

Read on PlanetF1 Hamilton is furious because apparantly the car has been designed around Jensons driving style, and not hamiltons. I'd take it with a pinch of salt though as there is no source to the comment.

PlanetF1 are the Daily Star of F1 news. I'd take it with a truck load of salt.

Looks like it's got a gator nose, maybe a blade roll hoop from how acute the angle at the top of the sheet is.

*edit*

Take it back - I've just seen another angle and there's deinfately no Caterham like gator-nose.
