Fan ****ingtastic. Best car design I've seen in years.
"Obviously I am pleased to have many fans. Who would not want? But to be honest, I have no idea why people like me."
"Do you really think I would be here if it was just about money?" Raikkonen hit back. "I do enough fun things in my spare time than to have to listen to this bullsh*t."
"There is always a lot of talk about the motivation but nobody really knows what I do or what I think except for myself, so I don't really care about what people say."
"There's always talk about my motivation, written by people who don't know me and couldn't have an idea on how strong my motivation is. If I didn't feel I had the motivation, I would stop. My feeling is that I probably drove some of my best races in my last season in Formula One and I was very happy with my performance. I've never had any issues with motivation."
Vodka, ice-creams in the garage, rallying, snow-mobile racing, gorilla suit connoisseur,hitched to former miss Finland, James Hunt appeal, a vacant stare, talks like a Dalek, 1970s caps, Elton John glasses and some people call this guy boring? I wish we had more characters like him in F1

It looks awesome, but that front wing looks so ridiculously basic, and makes me think it's actually not the real wing they'll be using (or they'll at least have plans to update it massively before the end of the testing sessions).

Hideous. And that tribal drawing is horrible. Looks like it was designed by a 12 yr old. I know no one will agree but it's my opinion. 
Well it WAS designed by a 12 year old. They have been using computer after all....

If 10 monkeys with typewriters can play the part of a person, a kid can design an f1.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised about that
If 10 monkeys with typewriters can play the part of a person, a kid can design an f1.From the way the new Reno looks, I guess that car was designed by ten monkeys with bananas playing the part of a person, after all Reno prides itself by using some of the most advanced computers in F1.
And I like that car I guess...

You know looking at it again, it kinda looks like the Midland F1 car from 2005, hopefully a much better performer!

Is it just me, or..... does the Virgin seem to have more red on it than before?

Wow virgin must be the 'fastest' improving team in the history of the sport, they were a whopping 17 seconds off the pace on the first day of testing, and were mightily impressive to improve 7 seconds a lap to 10 seconds off the pace the next day, then the they were only second slowest on the last day beating the world famous Alguersuari!
Not quite the same as slapping some leftover Virgin stickers on the Brawn GP is it Sir Richard
