Matty, to be fair to the FIA, each year they have changed the rules, its become a closer field. Although this years changes seem to be far more radical than in the past, it will be an interesting season. Lets hope that fucking poisoned dwarf loon; Ecclestone doesn't get his way and scrub the points system in favour of 'medals'.

Granted, the wings are a bit bonkers but we'll get used to that. Those sculpted sidepods are gorgeous. I doubt the rest of the field will produce anything as good looking as the F60.

I thought last years better looking car was the MP4 23, not as a McLaren fan but for the paint job and aerodynamics. The Ferrari just looked dull.

I guess it does look better on track.

It looks like a noddy car with that rear wing.

Having said that, when they went from wide track to narrow track (1998 onwards) they looked odd as fuck.

Still does if you spend more than Â£2.99 and buy a proper one.

Apparently Toyota will be launching the car as a "Movie" at the above site. You will also be able to take a virtual tour of the car, see what the team think about it, view pics and stats and have a chance to talk to the team too.
They wont be taking it out on the track untill a week later though.

I prefer it to the Ferrari.

Those pics of classic F1 cars are great! Did you get them online?
I agree re the 09 rear wing - it just looks wrong.
My money will be on Alonso - he was pissed about losing to Lewis and he is a great driver - if a little petulant!

**Matty0001** · 15-01-2009, 13:26

It's the giant shovel on the front that gets me, you could plant a facking garden on it.
Im looking forward to KERS though, it will change everything.

**Matty0001** · 16-01-2009, 12:33

The new McLaren MP4 24 is here.

I like the fackoff sized #1 on the rear wing, im sure Massa wont be too chuffed seeing that go past.

The McLaren looks pretty mean compared to the other two. From the side it looks like it would rip your face off but as with the others, the proportions of the front and rear wings looks odd as feck.
