The Toro Rosso looks the best, pretty colours and a simple layout.

Call me a heretic, but I never found any beauty in modern steering wheels with all those cheap buttons, they don't look modern enough (look like an old radio box).

I liked the old, clean steering wheels so much more.

Relooking at the pics and noticed that the Red Bull and Torro Rosso steerings are identical except for the red hand grips!

But that's only cos we don't have a picture with the Renault's. Alonso said that was the only design area where he was directly involved. So it has to be good! :P

Fray Luis de León wrote mystical poems which prompted Cervantes to proclaim León "a genius who astounds the world and who, in ecstasy, might rob us of our senses." León was also an active man who taught at the University of Salamanca, translated classical and biblical literature, and wrote on religious themes. Twice denounced before the Inquisition, he was imprisoned for "heresy," though he returned to the University to later hold the chairs of Moral Philosophy and Biblical Studies.

Tradition has it that he began his lecture the first day after returning from four years' imprisonment with the words "as we were saying yesterday..."

He designed his helmet. Only that accounts for 6 tenths plus another 3 with the steering wheel and 1 more for the colour scheme... It would make roughly a second. :)
