Closer look.

...and no bridge wing.

2 mirrors, 4 mirrors... 3 mirros is the solution!

Front wheel rims.

Honda was the only team not to have the upper front wing plane.

I don't know which is better, I have just never liked how the high nose look on cars.

Me too.

Also I think it's the 1st season when Toyota doesn't look 'aerodynamically retarded'

DAY 2

podvanes back.

Cut-podvanes are back for some more testing.

new front wing?

new front wing?

Its not obviously different, but when McLaren run an unpainted part, you can bet it is new. All four elements of the front wing are in bare carbon fibre.

Judging from the bottom extensions on the end plates, they've gone for a wider front wing. The extensions used to have a flat section between the endplate and the "bulge", whereas it appears the bulge now connects directly to the endplates. (well, at least on the front edge)

IMO it looks alot nicer black

Myself, I dont see a difference.

AFAIK F2007 has a similar design with thiker endplates

Better look.

PS: Luca looks so bored
