It reminds me alot of the F1 cars from the early 90s.
I love it

GP2 and GP3 live on Sky...
Also, Ferrari's launch tomorrow is cancelled due to snow...

sometimes i wonder about TV companies and their press announcements, sky announce this now yet it was known before christmass, i know they need to generate interest but don't announce it like it's a new deal, just do a statement giving full details.
nice to see motors tv are showing the gp3 highlights for non sky customers, at the moment i'm really impressed with how motors tv are upping their game this year, the NASCAR coverage was a big surprise and they have seem to have grasped that there's demand for endurance racing to be covered properly. i guess they're riding on the back of the increased interest in sat coverage of motorsport that skyF1 has generated.
i just hope that eurosport manage to stop messing their motorsport coverage round by cutting to snooker etc in the early rounds at the expense of live motorsport events

And they're keeping Valencia? WHY!
I'm assuming it's perhaps as obvious to you as it is to me, but $$$.
DON'T YOU DARE TOUCHING EVEN 1mm!!!
I'm calling bullshit on this until Autosport.com says the same thing. If it's true, it's a ****ing crime IMO.
blame spa, they can't afford a race every year so want to share, if the only alternative is no spa at all i'll accept a french GP every 2 years. it also has the advantage of making the german GP more secure with fans traveling from either belgium or france
valencia are trying to do the same deal with someone, since barcelona is also struggling a bit i won't be surprised if they end up sharing the spanish GP

Why? It has changed so much over the years anyway.
Not suited to F1 anyway. If it was deemed crap in '67 it'll be even worse now.
To be honest it could only look crap comparing to the Ring and the old Spa
I might be wrong, but AFAIK the reason why it was dropped was the poor attendance?
I always thought it was because the drivers thought it was a mickey-mouse circuit. 
LOL, new Ferrari is even uglier than the Caterham
So, where do those noses come from? What regulation / idea is behind it? 
Would be a true shame to see Spa swap with France every now and then, however the Paul Ricard circuit is a sweet one allowing a lot of agressive driving and passing. So that makes up a lot of my FFFFFFFFFFFF. But yeah, they'd better throw out a boring track like Valencia. Spa doesn't generate enough funds: Wallonian governement doesn't subsidise enough and the event itself is not profitable for some reason, I'd not be surprised if corruption had to do with that. Dropping visitors also has to do with the globalisation of F1 I think: such distant locations making it a "too far from their bed show", the casual F1 viewers forgeting about F1, dropping interest due to the high prices (going with your family to a F1 race in Spa is might expensive!), ...

The Ferrari does not look as bad as caterham or force india imho.
Blowing the exhaust into the brake ducts is neat though and I'd expect macca to do the same. Force india has very basic exhausts though...

I feel sick
Well we're getting even lower noses in the years to come so this is only temporary. Ferrari appear to have been let loose with a lego set by the looks of it though.
Excusing the step nose though the FI is looking very refined.
Wing dimensions are still shit though, no amount of time will get me used to them

It's going to take me a long time to get used to these cars now, and this comes from someone who got used to the 2009-spec cars straight away.
At least for me the pullrod suspension on the front of the Ferrari is very surprising. Extremely hard to fix if it doesn't work
The noses kinda have a mid 70's flava about them with the fugged up step-up shit goin on.
It is amazing how the teams follow the rules to the word now! If it's the nosecone that has to be lower, they lower the nosecone and keep the rest of the front at the same height as before. I think that's good proof of how far the teams have gone searching for loopholes.
I just have a bad feeling that those platypuss nosecones won't help the teams aerodynamically, and so far imo McLaren is the one that is doin' it right atm.
