aesthetically, I do not like the new Ferrari F2012, I hope will be fast, but that step is really ugly
Also, Sahara Force India and Caterham have the step better, however, the McLaren MP4-27,without step(the only one until now) with a very low nose. With these rules is difficult to make elegant cars. Today will be presented the Lotus Renault and tomorrow we will see the new Red Bull RB8 of Adrian Newey on Tuesday, at Jerez. there will also be the Grand Inquisitor Charlie Whiting. |

I don't want to disappoint you all (especially I'm big fan of Kubica), but his comeback in 2012 is unreal, even as test driver. Why? Because we haven't had any confirmed news about his recovery since he left hospital (april 2011). We got some speculations about him, but all of those "news" were wrong
Ok, I'll wait to 3.02, but I don't expect anything special |
