You mean Renault sound, TR have switched engine suppliers this year :)

 

Whoops! Thanks :)

 

For some reason my phone won't let me upload the new Merc, it's really nice though!

Yay,finally get to see the picture of the finished car! Saw the guys working on it last night. Currently in my hotel room in Jerez,totally ruined. Got up at 3.45 yesterday morning, and was at the track till 11pm. My work partner is on day shift and was up at 6am to go in this morning after doing the same hours as me. Must say,the Merc is probably the most elegant out of the bunch so far. Really hate the donkey d1ck noses,hope they can change the regs for next year to get rid of them.

All the cars will change for the last test and first race, when all the engineers have looked at other teams solutions and experimented with putting them on their car. You may find that some teams will end up with the same design of nose etc.

At the end of the day, aerodynamics aren't biased. Whatever works will be kept, whatever doesn't won't be. I imagine very few of the cars will look the same when they roll out for practice in Oz. Marussia have just left for Jerez as they've fixed their issues. Caterham are still working away I believe. Oh and nice work Daryl, keep it up :)

There's uprated crash structures in the side pods this year, all of the teams used the same method which was developed by RedBull I believe. I think that's why they have a minimum width on the tip of the phallus shape.

That's good then - don't want any unwanted penetrations grabbing the headlines :thumbs:

The Caterham solution is actually quite cool.However, as Newey has already said, if the tip of the nose breaks off, the shape of the underside of the nose will cause the car to launch over another if it hit the side of it.

Tony Fernándes has publicly said if they don't score a point this year he's gone. For a lot of people that would be a laughable task, but 77 races in they still don't have any points to their name! I just hope koboyashi does well as he's very entertaining!
