So far, nothing looks drastically different from last years.
At least to my eyes. |
I dont see much difference either most of it is internal, the aero packages on the ferrari will be completely different come Melbourne
although I hear the ferrari car is shorter then last years model, and those side bolsters around the drivers head are taller now |

Good catch. I didn't look closely enough :lol:
|
Kimi TOTALLY looks ready... to fall asleep. :lol:
|
What do you mean? That's his excited face.
That's also his sleepy face, his annoyed face, his o face and his sad face. |

...then again, F1 teams will run a ton of negative camber just to keep the tires hot. I guess they stick better using 80% of the tire at high temp, than using 100% of the tire at a low temp. Massive toe out would certainly help keep the tires warm too. :lol: |

Rumor has it that Fisichella bought... er... got the last seat left for 08 at Force India.
Official announcement due tomorrow. http://f1.gpupdate.net/en/news/2008/...ed-fisichella/ |
Poor Fisi... I like that guy, it sucks to see him in what will likely be a perpetual back-marker car.
|
In other '08 news... has anyone heard if Honda is going to have a real sponsor next season, or are we going to have to watch their slow, ugly cars again this year?

What driver will the banning of traction control help/hinder the most?

The Toyota TF108 has been unveiled.
Haven't found any high-res photos yet. But it looks like they are debuting with the McLaren style front wing. |
