I hope that their suspension system, whatever it may be, works well

Just a pitty that someone wasnt there with a decent DSLR with a decent enough lens to capture the shakedown. Even a cheap but decent Digitial Camera with a optical zoom would have done for me.

What we have is a damn sight better than nothing. We should be grateful for what we have.

My compliments to Dan O'Connor @DanSN117

Peculiar, I cannot see an Admiral Fitzroy barometer anywhere? (Mercury barometer!)

Suspensions are banned in 2012. xpensive was afraid they might work.

@JamieHunnisett_'s tweet: Driving a racing car for the day, and watching schumacher in the 2012 merc, not a bad day!

The nose looks 'boxy' like Ferrari's.

[JohnsonsEvilTwin]

There appears to be a sculpted crease in the side pod.

@McLaren777

Very kind thanks for the effort.

It looks like a sabretooth cat or a mammoth. The tusk front wing design looks to be the thing Newey was harping on about earlier. This combined with a well thought out front f duct could be the "secret". We may not see this new wing again until late testing.

Nope, its been around for a year now...look familiar?




If the nose is lower those supports will have a steeper angle/different shape. Nothing new, just a refinement of what went before to fit in the rules.
