     Certainly it’s not the 2009 one.

   Lotus have changed a lot their livery. That’s why I prefer teams that keep their own colour, because as soon as a sponsor goes away you have to change your livery.

     Or maybe go for bare carbon look, like that Toyota! It actually makes the car look faster.

     I would love it if HRT did that for this season, until they find themselves a decent sponsor. Just plain carbon with a layer of protective shiny coating. Their colour last season was almost like this only looking muddier.

   I’m sorry, but that looks more like the TF106 or TF107 in bare carbon fiber with pirelli logos

   Great pictures! Who brought the real vintage Team Lotus cars Keith?
   That JPS ’83 looks like it is on the Pirelli stand.

   A great assembly of wonderfull cars.

   Good to see also several very recent cars next to those great classics. That Red Bull RB6 actually seems to have a really flat nose, even if was masked for most of the season by the nose camera’s.

   The STR5 is infact the STR4 from 2009 :(

   Clues: Number 11 not 16, Gold pattern on side and no red pattern on the nose.

     Toro Rosso ran a competition on their site to win tickets to Autosport to see the STR5. Pretty annoying they couldn’t even get the right car.

   That Toyota has some very interesting wings on it… They seem to be just springing up from the bodywork… The diffuser also seems quite tall, if I’m not mistaken, they even moved the back light up.

    The 2010 Lotus is the T127, not the TF107.

    That 97T is such a beauty *drool*. Actually, that is how a F1 car should look, low and wide. Nowadays they seem so high.

    So why is that Toyota there exactly? What’s the purpose of it being there? With Pirelli logos on it?

    Is it just because of the angle of the picture? Or does the RB6 have 2009′s wider front tyres?
