Sepang Test/ GP

Post

Is this a new rear wing for Ferrari??? We need MC to decide if it flexes or not :D

Hamilton's four mirrors... they weren't used in Melbourne, were they?

10$ for anyone who can tell one difference between this car, and the one that was launched 2 months ago... But it still looks amazing!

I think this is new for the Macca, the roots of the upper wishbones are huge and aerodynamically profiled for low drag, and may also work as flow conditioners.

I love to love Senna.

I suppose Lewis isn't so confident in practice traffic and needs to know exactly when to get out of the way.

Ever noticed how each team tries to get as much media attention as possible? Well, McLaren is obviously doing a good job with their quad mirrors, cause they just got some media attention on this forum. ;)

I'm interested :wink:
There are no pics of the r27 this day on F1racing, and renault only reported a "mechanical problem on chassis R27-04"

The pic of a smoking engine would be a clearer picture of what happened...
