This thing looks like it's 27 meters long :O

But I like it, so far the best looking new car and I'm glad they managed to keep the beautiful nose. Very interesting area next to the cockpit... :D

I love the sidepods on that. And the front floor looks insane.

I've had a closer look at it now and so far this one wipes the floor aerodynamically with all the other cars so far. The barge boards are pure aero-porn, the upper front wishbone delicately connects to the chassis right where the s-slot exits, they've scrapped their old concept of one big winged lower wishbone at the front and the lower rear wishbones split up into three parts as they go along.

The bardge boards are even supposed to become bigger until Melbourne. I'm curious what the Red Bull will look like.

The over\under on the number of small children that get sucked into the airbox over the next 12 months is set at 3.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Then again, from the front it looks ridiculously busy, a la 2008:

The Sauber is still my favourite of the crop so far.

if we were in 2008 that floor part closer to rear wheels would be filled with winglets :p
