The white part is a nose cover, no nose cones have been seen yet for the F112 , maybe new ones on the way to Melbournemith wrote:I might be mistaken, but I think they could have new nose. Compare those two pictures:

On the first transition looks Ferrari-esque, on the second U-shaped. The paintjob also seems to be different.
Never mind nose cones, where are the turning vanes on the second picture?mith wrote:I might be mistaken, but I think they could have new nose. Compare those two pictures:

Yes I am excited as well its been a long wait. I think with sponsors like Banco Popular they would not want to publicize their sponsorship of a F1 team in a time where the economy is so bad. They might as well be behind Thesan Capital. The good thing is HRT have their car ready this year and have managed to get some good publicity in front of the worlds media so looks good for sponsorsTrocola wrote:I can't wait to see the new cars around Melbourne tomorrow night... it's a shame that it would be at 3 AM here in spain... i will have to wait until friday afternoon to see the practices.
And I can't wait to see De la Rosa on the wheel again. It's good to see the new F112 being built at the moment, not at saturday practice.
BTW, no news about Banco Popular... that's a bad sign...

I'm sure there are many lower formulae teams who think that way, but yet we see none of them in F1. Actually we don't see any new teams wanting to enter the sport. It's just too damn expensive and risky for new teams to come along. And if you don't get some serious financial support, you need to compromise and then you can end up into a similar situation where HRT is now. The sport is not financially sustainable for many of the teams, and even Bernie has voiced his concer over this.NathanOlder wrote:Id like to see more smaller teams allowed in, but have to pre qualify like they used to. I would love to see qualifying on friday with teams outside the top 10 constructors, MArussia HRT and a handfull of other hopefull teams trying to muscle in on the action. that way with the extra competition they could scrap the 107% rule and just have a 24 max grid.
Im sure there will be a few GP2 teams looking at this thinking, " we could do a better job than HRT"
