'Senna'. Some dust had flown into both of my eyes by the end.

I quite like the Ferrari look, and Mercedes plus McLaren have done a half decent job.
Interesting that RB have suggested this new 'safer' design may in fact cause issues with rear end collisions. Despite being in the pipeline for 2 years this was only raised last week I believe.
Looking forward to the new season, big powerplant change is going to take some learning from the drivers, and will be interesting how they approach the increased KERS use from a tactical perspective..

KERS will not exist in the new cars. Its an ERS-k/h (kinetic and heat energy) system which is more complex and allows for allot more power!

Cool. So they'll gub their tyres even quicker than normal.

'Mon the pit crews!

The Force India was the best looking car last season, and I think it might be this season too

Hmm, the Force India looks good side-on but the nose is pretty fugly from the front

I suspect they won't care too much how ugly they are if they're quick though and having one of the better looking cars probably isn't going to help Marussia much!

saying that... I do have a soft spot for this monster:

Could be, one to watch I think.

Not forgetting these two, if we're sticking with the 6-wheels:
