Official 2010 Formula One Thread

Ferarri's new car is out. Looks straightfoward. You can see they've taken front nose cone styling cues from last year's Red Bull.

Maclaren's new car -- not sure what I think about the rear wing connected to the engine cover. It might make sense on paper, but looks bizarre. Can't wait to see what happens when another driver punts them from the rear.

Awesome... Ferrari looks typical, but the McLaren's design looks stupid. I wonder how many seconds they shaved off for having a stupid looking car.

Just heard rumours of Michael Schumacher coming to Vancouver during the Olympics to do PR for Omega, along with other big names in sports.

Was following via Twitter on the testing last night but fell asleep before Schumacher went onto track @ 4:30am.

Looks like Schumacher hasn't lost his pace after being absent But like they all say, testing means nothing since I'm sure some teams are planning to sandbag it or run some funky shit before Bahrain

The Renault Livery is pretty nice, BMW-Sauber doesn't seem to have ANY major sponsors, sorta like the 2009/10 Brawn GP Car. The Ferrari livery with the White is starting to grow on me as I'm sure the McLaren will as well.

I feel bad for Peter Sauber, he didn't want to let the team he created die so he had to re-buy the other 80% stake BMW had on the team. I hope they get some major sponsors on the car.

Provisional Day 1 Results:

Provisional times
01. F Massa Ferrari 1:12.574 102 laps
02. P de las Rosa BMW Sauber 1:12.784 74 laps
03. M Schumacher Mercedes GP 1:12.947 40 laps
04. N Rosberg Mercedes GP 1:13.543 39 laps
05. G Paffett McLaren-Mercedes 1:13.846 86 laps
06. R Barrichello Williams-Cosworth 1:14.449 75 laps
07. S Buemi Toro Rosso-Ferrari 1:14.762 18 laps
08. R Kubica Renault 1:15.000 69 laps

DAY 2 IS COMING UP FOR JENSON BUTTON + LEWIS HAMILTON AND FERNANDO ALONSO!!

Red Bull also has the funky rear wing connected to the engine pod.

Looking forward to seeing the new Force India and the USGP car.

Ferrari was also at the top last year, until Brawn arrived.

The Mercedes in testing right now is only running last year's front wing and diffuser... Knowing Brawn, he always has a card up his sleeve and will probably introduce a triple/quad deck diffuser just like the Mclaren. It's probably so innovative that they don't want to show it in testing for now.

Yeah, I believe RBR has something special in store as well..knowing Adrian Newey, he probably has something up his sleeves hence RBR didn't want to join the other teams @ Valencia.
