Gaga: Thanks, I doubted the same… but I never thought KERS would require such a visibly huge external development on the body work. May be to have better cooling system, who knows!

Re Anirudh @6: The Williams may look odd, but the car on test in Barcelona is a mule mostly made up of the 2008 car. The team did a shakedown test last week in Britain of something much more 2009 spec, which looks better, see a picture at

Also, does anyone else spot the echoes of the old Williams Walrus-tusk front wing in the new BMW Sauber?

mani : i think it’s the KERS Ferrari running with. but
but it makes the car looks unbalanced between
right and left side. strange.

2009′s cars are horrible. i just lost half of my appetite of F1. so do many others.

Just thinking about the mirrors on the Ferrari – they are not in the ideal position for the driver. Why has no-one thought of using a camera system instead with the mirrors/screens then placed as close in to the cockpit as possible, or even inside? This technology is now avaible on road cars – are there any regs that prevent this?

The wide front wings are frikkin awful looking IMO…

mind you, talking of those front wings:
at least they’ll be OK if it snows during the race…

on a serious note, although the cars look a little strange, God am I glad they’ve got rid of those aero-bits sticking up every where. I always thought those aero packages ruin the beautifil clean lines of what an F1 car should look like.

it does look like the adjustable wing. with servo motors on the end-plates of the front wings

Has Pedro got a testing contract with ForceIndia? Is that an impact of the new engine contract between ForceIndia and McLaren?
