I know its probably just the angle of the photos, but the McLaren looks sleeker especially round the cockpit area and behind the air intake.

 

[Mancie]

Come on McLaren .. do the ITIES!

 

[Nickelson]

With Kovalainen and Hamilton sure Mclaren has a good set up for this season and the future.

 

[Mr Aleks]

Yeah im sure some cheats with kids for drivers will kick Ferrari's ass lol. Not a chance! Come on Ferrari!!!!!

 

[Nickelson]

Havent McLaren had to make certain compromises over design of the car following Spygate and not developed as much as they would like ?

My suprise for the year will be Honda with Ross Brawn... think how well Red Bull started doing when Adrian Newey went there and I think Ross will do the same with Honda as hes not only great technically but tactically. I can remember loads of races where Schumacher had no hope of winning, but Ross gave him fighting chances with tactics.

My Predictions for end of year :

1/ Raikonnen
2/ Hamilton (who will then go to Ferrari)
3/ Alonso (LONG way behind)

Red Bull did crap when he was the designer of the car as it was just to complicated to work on and set up. I like ross but honda just dont seem to want it that much. Button get out to renault or Williams and quick!
