The cars look so much better this year. Like Saubers new livery; McLaren not so much.

The McLaren got some useful laps in today but broke again at lunch - hope Jenson gets 70-100 laps in tomorrow.

Honda was only 4kph slower in straight line speed trap than Mercedes.

Felipe Nasr is a brasilian who has been racing in GP2 the last couple of seasons... was a contender at times and won a few races for Carlin I think...

Bit of a hothead though...

You all are letting me down. This is supposed to be the one stop destination of car photos!

I know, I was thinking the same thing but was afraid to ask.:) They ARE better looking, though. Just trying to gin up interest here.

Forget the Primate Chair...what kind of data is gathered by that fence-like appendage hanging off both sides of the Ferrari? That's a new one for me!

Aero data. Thats a rack of Pitot tubes.

EDIT: I was looking at a different photo. I haven't seen that particular rig before either. Still going with pitot tubes.
