    Sad News, Michael Schumacher had a skiing accident, apparently he hit his head on a rock, was in a coma when arrived at the hospital and I hear has undergone brain surgery.

    Report says he's in critical condition.

    I just read the article. He's in bad shape. From what I've read he will not be the same if he survives.

    So apparently the entire tragic event was captured on a cell phone camera along with the GoPro Schumi was wearing at the time.

    A video I don't think I wanna see.

    anyone hear the new 6 cylinder turbo engines? Not as high revving as the 8s and 10s were, but the sound is pretty sexy.

    this is apparently it, in a test mule la ferrari.

    That ant-eater nose on the Ferrari is the worst looking of the new cars.
    And I can't believe they let the fans vote that name in lol!

    Forza Ferrari all the same!

    Ant eater nose haha,

    I'm alright with it, the whole care overall looks pretty good though. (but looks are subjective anyway)

    and its hands down better looking than the McLarens Penis nose.

    It's the bump that ruins it. All the smooth curve noses look better, and Lotus' fork nose looks great imo.

    Ya The Lotus is looking good, some teams are looking for clarification regarding the design.
  • Rygar
    Rygar Posts: 8,711
    Yep, Toro Rosso. Sounds to me like they couldn't make that design work for themselves :P

    - you obviously haven't seen the Caterham yet!!! :)) :))

    I think the Lotus nose is legal - they've taken advantage in the subtleties in the way the FIA rules are written which define which parts of the car is "bodywork" and which part is "nose".

    Mon Team Willy!!!
