dammit. caught send by mistake, Can this be added in below the first bit??

It still doesn't address the overtaking issues etc (as been mentioned in older posts) but i at least think that the cars look the part. The Renault is stunning (bar the colour scheme) and the merc is too.

Heres hoping i'm wrong about the overtaking, but with wider cars and more dirty air that's unlikely. Monaco is going to be even more of a procession than a race than before!

Still positivity, hopefully red bull and ferarri have made a jump and we at least have some form of contest eventhough they will struggle to get past each other.

{Ed001's Note - it is bizarre how none of the people earning huge bucks to make these decisions have realised that wider cars will make it more difficult to overtake!}

I kind of agree with your comment about the nose. The Force india is the worst for it with its 'nostrils' i appreciate the aero requirement for certain shapes, but they should just be a big bloomin angry looking V on the front, get your pitstop wrong and the front jack man is being impailed through the knee!!

Aagin agree it is bizarre. Perhaps with new owners they will begin to force the FIA to adopt more radical ideas to allow closer racing and overtakes.

This all said this year is putting more reliance on aero than for quite a while so if Renault can produce a semi decent engine (apparently merc have made big moves with their power unit, if rumours and guy from Force India telling truth) I can see red bulls chassis being at least equal to if not better than mercedes. Which could at least possibly mean closer battles for titles.

{Ed001's Note - more aero should close up the battle between Red Bull and Mercedes, but it will make it almost impossible to overtake again.}
