Ugly looking thing!

Still, at least the minimum weight seems to be going up by 10kg now. Fingers crossed that Jense has a good season - with a possible Alonso link for Mclaren, this might be Jenson's last shot.

The fact the teams are coming different solutions in their designs bodes well for this season in my mind…

I only have 3 weeks of unemployment left - I have to get my quick F1 links in now!

And it's double points in Abba Dabba!

Not sure if we're seeing the final designs - I bet teams are sandbagging.

Still a fairly shitty race-track though! Best bit of the race weekend this year was the Muse gig on the Saturday tbh!!

I don't like the Donkeys dangler on the front of the Mclaren   )

No, and the front of the Lotus looks like a cameltoe.

The nose will likely look awful from above or in front I reckon

Looks like they are going to bugger the competition .......  Perhaps the Mclaren and the Lotus could get together and make baby  MacLotus's

Second only to Brundle among the Britsh TV chaps I'd say, at least now Jake's gone. I'm surprised Sky haven't offered him megabucks in place of Herbert or Hill.
