Yeah, the triple wing was on their first unveiling, but it doesn't really pop out. Its a strange beast. McLaren also has the triple wing thing going too, although even less noticeable.

RE: the new Spyker, I forgot to attach this quote to my post:

"We trialled the very bright colour in the first three tests of the year. Whilst the bright orange was a very distinctive colour when you saw it in front of you in the garage or on the track, the colour didn't transfer well when filmed," commented team principal Colin Kolles. "It's important for the Spyker brand that the colour is uniformally represented by all media and we're confident this will be the case with the new colour scheme."

They should have gone with 5 wings

Noone said it had to be difficult

I already don't have AC, and don't use the heater, so fuck you' couch

Super Aguri debuted their car this morning.

Yes, they waited till the Wednesday before the first GP of the season to unveil their "challenger"

sperry · 2007-03-14, 11:48 AM

Wow... looks sweet! Much better than Honda's stupid car.

MikeK · 2007-03-15, 10:23 PM

I just finished watching practice for Melbourne. This is going to be a great season! And Lewis Hamilton, wow!

Also, is it just me, or is the practice countdown timer in the exact worst possible location on the screen for on-board shots?

MPREZIV · 2007-03-16, 06:52 AM

according to formula1.com, Team Ferrari set the pace for Friday's practice.... GO KIMI!!!!!!!!!11!ONE!

Like everyone said, the white dot wasn't visible enough:

http://f1.gpupdate.net/en/news/2007/..._tyre_marking/

The white line is neat-o, but I'll bet they move to a big red dot. They should just suck it up and use the red ring around the tire.

tysonK · 2007-03-27, 11:56 AM

I liked the white dot so unassuming.

Nick Koan · 2007-03-27, 03:19 PM

I like the white ring too. What'll also be interesting, is that it'd be easily visible to the other drivers. The white dot was only useful if the camera was able to zoom in on it in the pits, all other times it was completely useless.

Kevin M · 2007-03-27, 07:23 PM

I heard Ralph mention a rumor that Bridgestone mentioned that stuff during development, but when Bernie found out that is was how Champ Cars do it, he refused to do anything like they do.

Unsubstantiated probably, but certainly plausible.
