Turkey updates

Post

I read about DC mentioning a front wing update for RB3.

Also Renault promised to show new stuff.

Despite the problems with the 'B' spec shassis, Spyker brought something that looks like a new rear wing.

...and a front wing that looks so much like one of Honda (McLaren-ish 3 layer, see below) but sports upper plane.
They also fitted the upper plane on the older wing... and the endplates look new as well. :?

Image

..while Honda brough the older version too.

Image
SAF1 brought 2 versions of their usual front wing and the other type of wing showed at the presentation at Albert Park.

Among the least aerodynamically efficient updates was Alonso's beard

Any other updates?

I am still mystified on how the B spec chassis failed its crashed test
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

Rediculous indeed :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I´m sure it has something to do with BBS marketing :wink:

The new wing looks interesting tough, looks better then McLarens in my eyes :D we´ll see how it goes in the race...

Ferrari's wheel cover reminds me of those fake pieces of cardboard you put in your hub caps to make it look like you have crossdrilled brake rotors...really, really cheezy!!! I really hope they don't run those in the race.
I love to love Senna.

Ferrari is sponsored/partnered with BBS - therefor by covering their wheels they have to somehow show which wheels they are running to people.

they did have the red BBS logos on every rim cover :wink: (unlike Toyota and BMW.Sauber who's BBS and OZ wheels are w/o any logos)

PS: btw not so long ago I noticed that Williams brought a new manufacturer to F1. So now there are 5 wheel supplier companies. There were only 3 of em in 2005.

Ron must feel a wee bit "ticklish", considering the close cut/shaven corporate look he prefers. This is the same guy who I vaguely recall once leaving a team member behind in an airport lounge ahead of a race weekend because he had forgotten to wear one or another part (tie?) of his team apparel ... that was a long time ago.

They could paint only the BBS logo somewhere and people would know which rim manufacturer makes them, why painting a whole rim? :? :lol:

That thing will be painted red with a big Marlboro logo when they land here in Brazil... I'd put money on this.
