I see what you mean about the McLaren's nose. :) It is looking pretty horrendous. Surely they can't just keep on bolting more and more wieght on to these cars?! :shock:

Fernando is a bit cheesed off this weekend, he has just noticed that the Renault engine he is using is identical to the one he won two WDCs with! They've been following the letter of the law whilst everybody else has been finding ways round the engine dev freeze. :?

These additions are very light, besides, they have plent of ballast they can remove if they had to.

Interesting that nearly all the teams are adopting the shark fin engine cover which was engineered by Red Bull's Adrian Newey!

Honda's new parts don't appear to be making any difference. :? 17th and 19th and still 2 seconds adrift. Ross Brawn promised improvements this weekend! :roll:
