Ferrari launches F2007

Methinks we'll see this... REALLY red Ferrari, on the winners stand a fair bit in 07. Mr 'i dont smile for nobody' is going to clean up and fnally get his chamionship. I just though ferrari would give him a better looking car to do it in.

[ctjet]

and for those of you that are interested... these are the latest spyshots of Renaults R27 taken recently

i doubt that navy blue and yellow is the final colour scheme... but i must admit it is a sexy looking car. The mirrors are a bit odd, but other than that it looks like they've taken a step forward in a lot of areas. Makes the Toyota that was just lauched look like a big red and white piece of crap

Glad you guys can pick the differences between 06 and 07 cars, i'll just sit back and enjoy the racing instead.

The car on the other hand looks like pure secks...

Whitmarsh believes in 2007 turnaround

[dezz]

Who replaced vodafone as ferraris sponsor?

and Alonso looks 12 years old

[djr81]

Ferrari are still sponsored by Marlboro. Hence the ciggie packet red instead of a proper scarlet colour. They just aren't allowed to show their logos. Besides, it is not like they need the money.

[R33GTRVSPEC]

They look like a bunch of fags dressed like that, oh wait...

Go Toyota and Renault.

Never really liked Ferrari but I have a sinking feeling they will be very fast.

Hopefully it is a close year, I'd love to see Williams, Renault and Toyota neck and neck at the top.

Couple pre launch shots of the williams F1...

looks really nice. Only thing i dont like is the exhaust outlet, but other than that, it looks the goods. Its still not going to threaten the podium, but its a refreshing change from all the red and white on the grid.

Apparently the car at the official launch will have slightly different livery and some new parts added that are still being tested

Williams looks good. Heres to hoping that Wurz has a good year

[djr81]

Here is hoping Toyota can bolt together a decent engine. I have a sneaking suspicion the only differences will be that the Toyota motor will have less hp than last years Cosworth & the driver pairing won't be as good. Although maybe Rosberg will stop running into his team mate.

Hope I'm wrong.

Ah... sporting a new more "aerodynamic look" Go on my son!

There was an interview that I read with Wurz (I think in F1 Racing, can't be sure as my magazines are packed up to move house) that the Toyota engine had less power, torque and driveability than the Cosworth, but the dollars required for the Toyota motor where a lot less than the Cosworth, hence Sir Frank and Patrick Head went for the Toyota.

haha it seems the old boys can't get enough of each other even after life in F1!

Jan.17 (GMM) Former grand prix winner Juan Pablo Montoya has hit back at Michael Schumacher after the retired seven time world champion belittled the NASCAR series. Colombian Montoya, who is this week testing for the Daytona 500 after switching from McLaren in 2006, reckons the 38-year-old German wouldn't be able to cope with stock car racing. Schumacher told the New York Times last weekend: "What do you do in NASCAR? What is exciting there?" Montoya reacted by insisting that NASCAR is harder than it appears to F1 insiders. "Just take (Schumacher) to (the) Homestead (oval) and tell him to stay half a second off the pace," the 31-year-old is quoted as saying by AP. "He would have a heart attack."

Probably all true but... See below,

yeah NASCAR is teh ghey... American motorsport is pretty shocking, even Champ cars are starting to put me to sleep

[ctjet]

Go Aguri....?

Kovalainen is starting to worry me

[Savage Bliss]

Well putting in twice as many laps, you'd hope they would post a decent time. But lets not gauge anything on this, after all, they could be testing in topsy-turvy world!
