So, with all the cars seen so far, has anybody begun to wonder - did Macca miss a trick or they hiding something $#%#-big ?

me, i'm hoping Vettel dominates again and gets his triple. He says it won't happen this year because of the tight regulations, but I think otherwise...

Kimi next... 2013 -2014... that would be nice.... :D

it would be too much excitement for you, that isn't good for health

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.”"

They're all hiding something. As much as possible. If experts are right there is no room physically (regulations), this season for a car to lead comfortably the whole season.

It seems the FIA will make sure all the teams comply with the spirit of the rules from race one. No F-duct, no DDD, no EBD...

I guess there's a chance for a team to make a dog of a car. I hope that's the case for Red Bull and McLaren. :D

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..."

Now that you put it like that including Kimi in the equation then I want a fast RB too. :P

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.
jemstride:
"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.

It's the beuty of the grid but probably most of the other cars would improve in a combination of colours like Red Bull's.





I just hope Ferrari is the beast of the grid. :naughty:
