You lucky sods get F1 free to air, us poor lackies in the colonies have to get by Sky, which we can't afford

Even though I dislike the rear wing, it is really interesting to see such wildly different aero on the cars..

BMW with the Walrus snout (LOL), and Redbull with the ant eater nose way up high in the air (fragile, but i suppose all f1 cars are fragile!) it's just fantastic to see, and will be great to see how they come out on race day.

Tetsting results I heard were Toyota fastest at Baharain and Red Bull fastest somewhere else?

Hopefully it'll shake up the big boys

I have a few F1 history books, and I just love checking out the various ideas. At one stage in the early 80's (I think) the fad was to run NO front wings at all!! I got a pic where the entire grid, Mclarens and all, are bereft of front downforce, like, what were they thinking?

My favourite unsuccesful team has to be Copersucar team.

And fav pic is one where the entire grid is blaring down the start straight and there are two cars (one a Benneton) perfectly perpendicular to the direction they are skidding. It looks like they've been parked there, but you know they're all going 100's of km/hr, if only I could find it to show you guys, but it seems so preposterous to look at it..

Sorry for the long post, I love the topic/s, please, keep on!
