I so hope Ferrari are not that far in front in Aus..... I'd hate for these rule changes to have this season created YAFW (yet another ferrari win) I would like to see 4-5 teams fighting for it!!!

Wow, it is actually looking pretty good n the sauber.

The Underside of the nose is painted black at the Renault, possible a loophole in the regs? The regs state alot of time that there isnt any visible part allowed or 1 visible part, by this you can create more vanes as you actually cant see then cuz they black, i thougth by this before(a week ago lol)

Rotery dial for the wing setting and engine maps, and for how strong the KERS regen is, very interesting

Is the purple(top left... labeled overtake) for the KERS boost?

I saw a KERS boost button on the top left of the steering wheel in another photo. Could the purple one labeled 'overtake' simultaneously reduce the front wing as well as giving the KERS boost? Or might it just set the engine for maximum power? Also, could the green button top right be a preset wing position?

or you press the green button and rotate the dial

stops you accidentally moving the wing dial?
