car launches

Hi all

Out of all the 2002 car launches, what car are you most eager to see?

I cant wait to see what the final Toyota livery or the Renault livery looks like myself.

The new Jordan is always a favourite, and I'll be waiting for the Minardi and Prost cars to be rolled out...

Well Renault will be interesting, I cant wait for them. Mclaren will be interesting too, as rumor has it that while the colors are to stay the same, design will differ noticably.

Williams and Renault.

What is most exiting about this time of waiting for the new launchings for me, is that occasionally some designer or other (who will have been beavering away for the best part of a year now) will launch a (beautiful!!!) new car. One wonders this time who will launch a car with mid wings again or other blight on the true beauty of the F1 racing car. In 1991 Jordan designer Gary Anderson  was responsible for a car of amazing beauty this was only brought home to me at the Autosport International show two years ago where they had a display of all the Jordan cars since inception. It is not easy when looking at the latest car to see what changes have been made since the last car for instance however it seems that with three or four cars to look at changes become more apparent. The spending of millions of francs, lira, marks and pounds etc to make way for an extra groove in a tyre for instance, may be of vital importance but will only show in a distinct lack of rubber.This has been the case for the last few years and I for one cant wait to see if Anderson, Newey and Gascoigne et al cant set the world on fire with some master stroke of the pen

The '91 Jordan was indeed a beautiful car...but alas, designers have no room to manoeuvre when they're cooped up inside designing their cars. A little nip and tuck is all one can hope to get excited about these days - not like turning up to a launch and finding 6 wheels under the tarpaulin!

- and Prost will be the only team with a budget of millions of lira!

I completely forgot to mention Sauber! They dont have Red Bull sponsorship anymore, so I am VERY eager to see their color scheme/paintjob.

Oh and then also the car itself

I'd love to see if Arrows get relaunched (seems to be a regular thing with them) as the All-American Red Bull Super team...

[TotalF1 Jens 0]

You mean the All-American team with Heinz-Harald Frentzen driving, Sergio Rinland designing, Tom Walkinshaw leading, and England being home to....

[TotalF1 SamB 0]

Someone's forgetting the meaning of relaunched there...

[TotalF1 Jens 0]

Whooops.

The head of the Red Bull company has said that he would like an all-American team with American drivers, to promote American motorsport worldwide...

The first problem is finding anyone good enough to go in the team!

Well, now the McLaren has been launched it seems rumours of a new livery where false...

what do you all think of it?

I think it looks quite nice, but at a glance it looks the same as last years....

The cars have all been pretty boring so far - too much evolution, not enough revolution - hopefully Ferrari are going to come up with the magic that's being promised in the specialist press...
