pull rod at the front like ferrari...slightly different from the norm.

The way it is now is the way all the cars are because it works so well. You could look at other open wheel formulas (indy car, F2, GP2, GP3 etc) and see there suspension designs, but I'm not sure theirs much change. (there are obviously different versions of the current way - if that makes sense).

Perhaps pull rod. In Sketchup I won't need to worry about the suspension component placement, so hypothetically the only difference visually and aerodynamically would be the (nearly) horizontal link.

Am I wrong?

Also final picture will be released today before an official launch on the 8th of July. :D

Soon will come the 2012 livery preview which will be used on the final race this year. Not every sponsor is done and a few things need to be refined and double checked however IM0 it is a great livery.

Big thanks to Nick McDowell who kindly made this for me; despite exams :D

If you send something over MSN you'll loose quality for some reason. You should zip it and then send it.

And indeed Audi + Mercedes Benz makes no sense at all

I was thinking the same about the Mercedes Audi tie-up wouldn't make sense.
