Neil Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The Renault does not look as complex as the other cars, I think they are going to have another disappointing season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buio Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Black and yellow is a good combo. I like the Renault colors, reminds me closest of the Jordan car I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buio Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 According to this, it is the old car in new colors, the R30 is to be revealed later. http://f1.gpupdate.net/en/formula-1-news/227094/petrov-joins-kubica-as-renault-reveals-r30-livery/ Here is a nice pic showing off the colors outside the garage (found here http://forums.autosport.com/index.php?showtopic=120625&view=findpost&p=4106372 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subject Delta Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 What's with that fin thing... The fin serves 2 purposes, it improves the quality of airflow over the rear wing, and it also helps stabilise the car under yaw (in layman's terms, it reduces tha amount of sideways movement when the car is turning into and out of corners) Also, gotta add I think the new Renault and Sauber cars look awful :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subject Delta Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Ferrari Diffuser :p :rofl: That certainly looks... strange :/ Interesting that no photos where taken of McLaren's diffuser, I would like to see what all the fuss is about.

Subject Delta Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I had a suspicion that the Ferrari one may have been photoshopped :laugh: Their diffuser doesn't look much different to that on the F60, but I understand the changes to the McLaren design a bit better now, the photo provided in another thread didn't really make the difference that clear. Thanks for the insight. The new Ferrari does seem pretty fast though, but I get the impression that McLaren have been doing long run simulation and haven't really been chasing lap times yet.

san.W10 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Lewis was consistently lapping at 1.12.xx, thats awesome compared to others Q & A with Lewis Hamilton Lewis Hamilton described his first impressions of the new McLaren MP4-25 as 'night and day' in difference to same experience he had at the first test of 2009.

Subject Delta Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 The long run pace of the car indeed looks good, I would like to see the long run comparisons with the Ferrari and Mercedes to see how it all compares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
