Yeah, a lot of people are comparing the Renault to the Jordan, certainly looks impressive. Although i think Virgin Racing are the ones with the current flashy car, they've also ditched the ironed shirts for boy band-esque leather jackets

Should be an awesome season.

Button looks like such a fag in the photography above though, and the two Ferrari guys look so short
Especially Alonso

Looking good!

Few Questions to the F1 bods:

Do they all now have this rear diffusor thingy ma bob now?

The refuelling ban means that there fuel must last the whole race?

1. If you mean the double diffuser, most have it by the end of last year. Not sure on these new cars, but I would imagine they're all back to a fairly level playing field.

2. Yes, must last the entire race. Quali 3 will be done on minimum fuel like the old days

They still have the double diffuser on these cars, but the FIA are looking to ban it - I guess that'll be after this season.

The double diffuser has been baned for next season.

There has been lots of work in that area over the winter. Notice how virtually none of the press shots were straight from behind.

Very hard to tell from the days testing how the cars compare.

You sure its been banned, as I was sure it was in discussions and most of these cars actually have them?

'One further proposal, to be introduced from 2011, is that double diffusers, which caused much controversy at the start of last season and which are featured on all of this year's cars launched so far, are to be banned.'

FOTA (all of the teams) have agreed to get Double Diffusers banned for 2011 season and onwards, although i think a few teams aren't running them this year, like Red Bull.

Although some diffusers are ridiculous this year, ie: McLaren's -






oRbbo - The cars are far from hideous, just look at the Sauber or the livery on Virgin's, they are absolutely amazing Although i'm not too sure


edit - Apparently the majority of the backend of the Merc car is currently illegal.
