Maybe it will be fast this season, but it sure is an oinker. Much worse in action than the still photos we have been seeing. On the other hand, the Renault is very sexy. :)
It's not one of the better looking cars that Williams has produced, eh? I may like if it gets quicker, but it looks terrible. The FW25 was a terrific looking car.
Oh, well. Let's hope tomorrow's qualifying session is a lot more exciting than today's practice sessions.

No doubt about that. Looks like they took up where they left off last year with Schumi flying.
I'll wait for quallies before whining too much about how the Williams are doing.

I'm almost the opposite. The Williams looks a little weird to me, but I don't dislike it. I think the Renault is really ugly though, at least the rear two-thirds of it. Still, it's good to see aesthetic diversity for a change.

Let's hope it doesn't fly like a pig, too.

I'm with you on the diversity, Rob. Now the Sauber, that's another matter!

while I wouldn't want to see a field full of FW26 clones I do appreciate a little diversity.
Of course I kinda thought the same thing while Alessi was harrying Senna with Tyrrell's 019, next thing you know we have had years of that ugly high nose configuration
Ah, there's hope for the flying pig! Well, let's see if Monty put a quick lap together in qualifying.

It looks like it's ready to attack another car.
