looks like the red bull and torro rosso are gonna still be hard to identify at high (and low) speed.
fabio pellim said on 18th February 2010, 15:25
I think that’s what meant…in the end they need to sell RedBull cans
AP said on 18th February 2010, 16:02
or bottles
sato113 said on 18th February 2010, 16:25
the red bull sugarfree livery was a great idea tho…
Andrew White said on 18th February 2010, 16:30
The red nose on the Toro Rosso helps.
three4three said on 18th February 2010, 17:52
It does, but to my untrained eye the shape of the two cars look identical.
sato113 said on 18th February 2010, 20:33
but why does the torro rosso have to have that gold nose area? its not a red bull colour, and lets face it it does look similar to the yellow nose on the RBR car. the torro rosso should just have a dark blue tipped nose matching the rest of the car.

Great picture thought, seeing them side by side in the wet like that.
Marc Connell said on 18th February 2010, 18:41
just listen to the sound of the car
torro rosso are cosworth and i thin redbull are… i forgot 
Shadowfax said on 18th February 2010, 18:44
Torro Rosso are Ferrari powered and Red Bull are Renault powered!!
Marc Connell said on 18th February 2010, 18:46
sorry my bad
i thought toro rosso where cosworth! still you can hear a difference between renault and ferrari 
TommyB said on 18th February 2010, 20:12
I think the Red Nose and the gold will help.
I love that picture of the two cars side by side
Dan M said on 18th February 2010, 20:25
One will come in for gas all the time and the other won’t.
Marc Connell said on 18th February 2010, 20:26
dan, no refueling
one will come in and stay in
BBQ2 said on 18th February 2010, 15:21
OMG! Kova!! First day and a total damage to this nice car
Fauzy was so good yesterday. Hope he will not do a NPJr. mid-season.
SimonF1 said on 18th February 2010, 15:34
Some great pictures here, love the side view of the Renault!
Aleksandar Serbia said on 18th February 2010, 16:52
Go Petrov!
I hope the package is at least reliable if not quick
Pat said on 18th February 2010, 17:55
Keith – does the guy taking these photos for you have a phobia of the Mclaren – none yesterday and again non today
Monad said on 18th February 2010, 18:34
It’s the silver color and the shark fin. He thinks it a shark trying to eat him.
Harvs said on 18th February 2010, 20:19
i agree, there only seem to be photos of specific teams, he doesnt like williams either.
keith… can you get more variety please?
the photographer has a soft spot for felipe
Achilles said on 18th February 2010, 18:53
Is it me or is Jordan back in F1? All Renault need is the Hornet logo, and they’ve cracked it! What’s it like Keith doing the blog as a job?
BS said on 18th February 2010, 19:07
I know it is unwise to draw conclusions from testing but I think I’m right in saying the cars look quite a lot more badass than they did last season.
If only F1 was broadcast in this kind of resolution with this awesome deep contrast…
Force Maikel said on 18th February 2010, 20:43
the guy taking teh pictures loves ferrari theire are always more f10 pictures, insted of the rest
Wesley said on 18th February 2010, 21:33
The Renault with the yellow,gold colors and shark fin should be nick named “The Tiger shark”
Wesley said on 18th February 2010, 21:44
*should read YELLOW and BLACK colors

How much does it cost?
Rob Wilson said on 18th February 2010, 23:18
haha thats a great ad
Diego Medeiros said on 18th February 2010, 23:55
Keith, I’m missing of the Williams’ pictures.
MEmo said on 19th February 2010, 0:56
Keith: I see you´re back to uploading team´s “official” pictures. Thanks! Not that yours where bad, but it shows the people who take these have the top-of-the-game equipment. One of the most attractive features of your site (beside all the knowledge of and commitment to F1) are the HD pictures! I love them, so thank you very much!

I thought torro-rosso had to design & build there own car this year or is it based on last years rb5 redbull
Chaz said on 2nd March 2010, 20:41
Oh no, I was hoping to see the vortices especially in the wet conditions…
