Ok, I thought I'd do something different than the 'personality show' stuff on drivers, so here's a technical observation and question.

Look at this pic of the latest aero-configuration of the Toyota...

Edit: This was just too damned embarrassing to let stand. I'll keep the photo up as a personal lesson in humility, but the comments I made here were too much!

Oh for God's sakes.... :blush:

No, I am not new to F1. I am, however quite embarrased by this little goof. Damned itv put that pic up for it's testing article and the aero-bit intrigued me, so I posted in the hopes of sparking some discussion.

I never even looked at the rest of the car.

Crap. Thank you for not rubbing that in. I'm sure others will, though :D

Edit: Welcome, btw :welcome: . Rest assured we are more on the ball here than I proved with this thread! Stick around some and find out.

Yeah and certain sponsors on the 'nose' aren't there as well. As I said, I didn't look at the rest of the car. Ah well, crap happens :D

I notice a couple of humps where the front pushrods go into the upper part of the chassismuch like the Williams of 1997-98 on the Toyota's recent Paul Ricard Circuit pictures.

The Masters have returned.
"People were being killed left, right and center back then," [Phil Hill] says. "I became hyper-sensitive to the danger, and wasn't sure that I wasn't going to kill myself. As a result, racing brought out the worst in me. Without it, I don't know what kind of person I might have become. But I'm not sure I liked the person I did become, because I was selfish, irritable and defensive."

No, I believe there are some sponsors up high on the nose, right at the top of the red 'swash'.
