hot DAMN!!

Renault may take the 'sexiest colour scheme' from mclaren this year breaking thier multi-year streak. Hopefully there out the front this year, won't get sick of lookibg at that thing

[ctjet]

looks like Mr Newey has set the trend once again. So far, all challangers have a variation of the RBR nose with the slight dip throughout, with that slim bottom for the diffuser

Cant wait to see what Mclaren have done. The car always looks so fcuking cool

It was an interesting time when the regs changed and all the cars came out completely different. Who was going to set the standard for what all future cars where to based? Well it turns out Redbull are the guys to emulate. so, time for a regulation change?

[sh@un]

These photos confirm a fear I had- While the yellow Pirelli sidewall looks great on Ferrari and the new Renno, I can't see it suiting the MP4-26 :\

Maybe they'll get a red version

[ctjet]

I think it'll suit most cars on the grid, especially Lotus. The only exceptions would prolly be Mclaren, Williams and Mercedes

Small price to pay. The white sidwalls will always look the sexiest and we did have a goor run. Everybody thought the green strip on the softs would look stupid as hell, but you get used to it. The pis of Pirelli yellow and super soft green tyres on the run will look pretty sweet i think

[ctjet]

The fact that the word 'Pielli' is printed straight along the tyre wall as opposed to around the rim i think is the stupider look.

[ctjet]

mmmmmmm... the redbull is real peerty

similar, but better

[ctjet]

EVERYBODY IS LAUNCHING RED BULLS!!!

the Merc GP is almost the RB6

and the willams is a little sponsorship light?

[sh@un]

The fact that the word 'Pirelli' is printed straight along the tyre wall as opposed to around the rim i think is the stupider look.

yes, that kinda gets my goat too

it's un-necessarily different

[Beer Baron]

I think it's just due to the fact that they always print their 'logo' straight across. it's usually quite small and the same colour as the tyre so of no consequence but now that it's huge and yellow it looks a bit stupid. If they don't want to bend their recognisable logo they should just leave the P-Zero bit on the tyre and make the cars run the pirelli logo somewhere on the barge boards or something instead of on the tyre.

Sheet cant upload photos for some reason. but i got a whole lot from racing underground. the redbull car looks the goods. their rear wing and front are a little different from others

got some nice high rez images.. might try upload them someother way.

[Beer Baron]

either resize them (I think the max for the site is 1200X1200) or upload and link them via imageshack etc.

[sh@un]

Come on McLaren, make with the '26

Looks little different from those shots. Some tweaking of the front wing design.
