At least the big Red Bull fits better on the side now. What year was it Penske 1st started using that vertical "fin"? Anyone earlier in F-1? Ferrari may be screwed if they don't get one...or knows something others don't? Will Schumacher change his helmet color, or is it a little different??

Interesting to read this article on Alonso and the size of the crowd that turned up to watch him practice.

He certainly didn't disappoint...P-1 today, fastest of the week. Big surprise was de la Rosa again, 2nd fast then Schumacher. First Cosworth 2.2 sec. down.

Looks like BMW's withdrawal was as well timed as Honda in that they walked away from a good car.

The giant fin thingy on the Ferrari? :confused:

I know I saw a photo with what looked like extra pitot tubes on top.
