I think the change to the points is a good idea, also like the pole/fast lap idea, could spice things up a little but they still need some regulation in place so they can get right up each others exhausts and actually overtake.

am i the only one who thinks there is an ok level of overtaking in f1? You say get it like the old days, but there wasn't much overtaking then either. It feels like there was because of all the videos on youtube showing nothing but the overtakes!

Theres is plenty, but make it so they can get close and overtake more like in the lower formulas, where they same position could change hands between 2 drivers for a few laps just because they can actually follow each other closer.

Definitley isnt! The nose is not as wide and seems longer, the front wing is revised along with the side air intakes, the wing mirrors are on different wounds and there is a sill down the full side of the car that was'nt on the brawn car. Yes the Chassis could possibly be based on a similar design but to hold a larger fuel take with plenty new airodynamic modifications it definitley isnt the same car lol

Definately not this years car, trust me. Just to launch new colours. Their car like most of the other teams is no finished yet.

Plus all launch cars are massivly different from what you will see at bahrain for first race 

[smitty12]

So they never actually ran the car last year, so it is different to the car that was ran? but ye by the picture i see the similarity but ye the actual car at bahrain will be completely different

[VeeDubGTI16v]

you can see the bigger fuel tanks influence on the new cars

See they've basically ripped off the developments of the McLaren and Red Bull, nice one Ferrari.

Longer wheel base is going to make for some interesting changes to the handling.
