RB7 or RB8, that THING looks like a beast !!!!
“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.”"

Asked about the unattractive Ferrari solution, Red Bull’s Marko insisted: “We have something that looks a lot better.
“Our car is not as ugly as the Ferrari, but it’s also not like the McLaren, which doesn’t have a kink in the nose at all.
“Ours is just a bit smaller and more elegant (than the Ferrari solution),” the Austrian added.
So the RB8 will have a stepped nose of some degree...I am thinking it will look more like a broken nose from the remark above....probably the inspiration from the design will be the nose that broke at Silverstone in 2010

I'm just teasing. Infact, we can discount the RB6 as the mirror's are not on the barge boards...that is, unless this photo was taken after they were banned part way through the season....but then you need only look at the rear wing and notice that there is no shark fin attached to it.

Actually Brad, the RB's have always had a protrusion around the upper arm linkage point, which is what is causing the stepped nose on the other cars thus far. If anything, the RB8 will bend from this point forward, as their suspension geometry is most likely little changed from last year.

Of the stepped noses thus far released, it looks the sleekest. The Ferrari looks hideous and that huge air ram tunnel caused by the front wing pylons looks like one of the ugliest things to ever grace a front wing...as bad as Jordan when she sat on a Jordan's front wing....
See...fugly fugly fugly:

On the RB7 the hump wasn't as pronounced, but the flutes going back to the windscreen were still there. The RB6 had the biggest bumps.

you can see a master craftsman at work, see at how the nose is sculpted, it becomes a design element itself, an aerodynamic piece....look at the spokes to the wheels...6 either side. The detail on the front wing...hmmmmm

Actually I thought it would look better than this but I am still waiting for more pics to see if I can get a better look at it and change my mind.
I just can't wait to see the new Marussia.

Kimi Raikkonen: It is the same thing that I said before. I have no interest in driving for a bad team next year. If I race here, I always try to finish as high as I can. I don't need anything to motivate me. If I drive, I drive to do my best and that is it.

"I get the feeling that Alonso fans tend to heap over-praise on Alonso and bring down Kimi whenever they can, with mere theories and unjustified statements."
I just always end up disagreeing with you guys because of all the huge exaggerations, myths, theories & unjustified statements
Lewis Hamilton:
I never go with expectations, I go with a target. That is to be at the front, and the ultimate aim to win, which is the mentality I have always gone racing with.
You've got to be on the limit all the time - and I love that, because that's how I love to race.
