2009 bmw f1
Here's what it came out looking like
That wing looks rediculous
The side look nice.
At least it doesn't have a spec engine in it....
... for now.

Big a** slicks look beautiful.
I hate the contours of the recent airboxes (lateral view) but I realize esthetics are not of primary importance.
Thanks for the post!!

Forget F1. Bernie and Max are dinosaurs. Who wants to see fugly spec racers run on three race old engines from a single engine supplier using sole source tire supplier? What part about the word "competition" don't they understand? Even NASCAR isn't that stupid -- until they decide to abandon North America.
Sports car racing is where it's at. Rolex, ALMS, Speed World Challenge, Koni -- can't wait for more of that.

The new wing is driver adjustable.
They loose a lot downforce in the wake of the car in front of them.
The main reason you don't see passing in F1.
Which is why the new regulations came about.

Teething problems with the KERS

Video of the incident:

F1's new KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems) technology continues to be troubled, but BMW-Sauber insists the electric shock suffered by a mechanic during testing of the energy-saving device last month did not put anyone in any danger.
