No ones keen on any of the f1 hats.... (you've seen the silly massive ganster boy ferrari ones too...)

On the plus thats a mad looking engine cover. Though the car looks a lot like a longer RB5....

The official photo shoot was on saturday at the factory, i expect a lot more photos to show up today

CS||nuTs can you tell me about the rear suspension?

I've heard conflicting reports. The BBC suggests that you've resorted to push-rod system due to the new deffuser, but Autosport stats that you were able to keep the pull-rod system.

Sparky · 10 Feb 2010 at 11:02

All i will say is, what do the BBC know.

Quite like that one but again it's the shark fin, would love to see if that makes any difference on the track

TaKeN · 10 Feb 2010 at 11:29

Holy cow that looks radical :eek:

Steep front nose.. and the shark fin at the back, very nice looking car

Liking Vettel's tea cosy

Why must they have a silly shark's fin? They make me die a little inside

yep as radical as last years, actually almost exactly as last years....

:-p

Quite a big hole at the back of the shark fin / engine cover (exhaust exits within there?) and some detail of the diffuser:

I also find sharkfins horrible but I guess it makes a difference otherwise they wouldn't bother.

possibly i can almost see what looks like a red bull can, i have it on good authority the exhaust ends are made from recycled redbull cans (ie they sliced the ends off and welded a bunch together)

aparently its radical and has wings!

Dup · 10 Feb 2010 at 13:37

Exhausts are on the top of the side pods, in line with the hooves

Is that whole the top section of a tripple deck defuser? Thats a very extreme interpretation of the rules. Love it.

Doesnt look as enclosed as the mclarens but similar.

Certainly looks along those lines. Theres the bottom of the rear wing, winglets or similar around the suspension mounting points followed by the top section of the diffuser. Im not sure whats going on with the hole in the fin/engine cover but maybe its for cooling? It looks like a very tightly packaged rear end?

Duke · 10 Feb 2010 at 21:12

They had a hole like that at the rear before but much smaller, about quarter of the size.
