JetSet Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Ferrari have revealed their 2011 car. Looks like all the other teams, except McLaren will reveal theirs over the weekend. First test session gets underway next week http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/89112 Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Well we have made it! Looks like Mercedes has switched to Pullrod suspension,as have Lotus Renualt and Team Lotus. What is it they say about imitation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 No chance chap im affraid,the car is in Valencia,and im here! The rear bodywork on ours certainly looks alot more slender than the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 No change there then, it was already slimmer than the others. I never apprecaited it until I saw the models on display at Autosport show, the difference is quite obvious when seeing them in the flesh. Makes you appreciate the extra design that has gone into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Our car has incredibly tight package. Especially with the KERS system now integrated into it aswell. This pic really highlights how tight it is. http://www.autosport.com/gallery/photo.php/id/13267032 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 The new Mclaren No sign of a new change in colour scheme to me http://www.planetf1.com/photo-gallery/6 ... ry#photo=0 http://mclaren.com/2011revealed/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Very radical design for the side pods! Was studying this yesterday,and thought its a very funky looking car. The front wing is certainly a work of art. I dont expect the car that shows up in Bahrain will look anything like that,as is the same every year,but its certainly an interesting concept.

Ebized Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I dont expect the car that shows up in Bahrain will look anything like that,as is the same every year,but its certainly an interesting concept. +1 just a mock up - there is no way they are going let cameras get so close with the real performance tweaks. Might I say in the same way RD jealously guarded views of the rear end of their cars on the starting grids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnH Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'm a Mclaren fan, but does that nose remind anyone else of this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff-r Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'm a Mclaren fan, but does that nose remind anyone else of this?? Lol! No not really, that nose kinda looks like the monkey has a dick for a nose. I hope the Mclaren does well this season. I think Pirelli tyres will work quite well for Jenson as well as they're set to disintegrate quicker and Jenson knows how to work tyres. Of course I'm hoping Lewis has a good season as well.

JetSet Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Robert Kubica seriously injured according to The BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsp ... 388940.stm Wrist broken in a couple of places, possible arm and leg injuries too, according to various sources. Unlikely to be ready for the start of the season. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'm hoping Lewis has a good season as well. +1 Would like to hope Jenson can make the tyres last, although he does often complain about not getting enough heat into them - perhaps just a shade too conservative with his driving style. Would certainly like to see some more of the 11/10ths stuff from him as when does have the bit between his teeth his passing moves are often brilliant and he rarely ends up in a tangle, unlike Lewis who seems to let his balls rule his head at times. Confirmation that Mclarens car shown to the public was a dud http://in.reuters.com/article/2011/02/0 ... 5520110204 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccaman Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Just heard on the radio that they may have to amputate one of his arms Really hope it doesn't come to that but it sounds like his F1 career will be finished anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sounding too good for him http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... l?ITO=1490 Strange it is suggested it is his right side that is affected - in a left-hand drive car which from the pic looks relatively undamaged on the drivers side Edit: Looks like he impaled the car into some armco which pushed through the engine compartment and broke the roll cage in the cockpit area by Kubica's right side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
