Today is when we see Button's and Hamilton's new challenger. I'm curious to see whether it does have the exhaust innovation as speculated. Although I presume they may wish to hide it till Thursday if they do.

Where's the bloody photos?
In the sweetest child, there's a vicious streak.
In the strongest man, there's a child so weak.
In the whole wide world, there's no magic place.
So you might as well rise, put on your bravest face.

Though we might have precious little...
It's still precious.

She's not as tight at the rear end as the RBR, but the shaped sidepods might mean you don't need a tight butt...

(Cue Dribbler commenting something about love handles and butts...)

Appears to be pull rod rear, if the linkage is anything to go by....something is going on around the diffuser that appears different to the others, though need a still pic to have a good looksee.

Oh....and Jense and Lewis' hats have a black panel on one side now...I think this is the improvement they were looking for to challenge for the World Championships :P

“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”

"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"
Chris Cameron-Dow

"One might be tempted to say Ferrari are inconsistent this year. I think the opposite.
They are having one very good race followed by one very poor race. Consistently."

There's no big actuator on that rear wing for the flippy flappy bit....

The top view shot really shows how fat she is in the hips.  But she dives in very fast.

Kinda like that bit on a cute girls butt, where the back of the leg meets with the butt cheeks....Andre, you hear me on this, don't ya?
