Apart from the design of the front wing, the TF109 and the F60 look almost identical. There doesn't seem to be much wiggle room in the design rules aerodynamically.

Toyota still to decide on KERS

It seems like they're in the similar situation as Ferrari.

Here's to answer Red Dog's previous question. :)

Massa unperturbed over race number

''But maybe the FIA has made a mistake...''

Felipe Massa has questioned his allocation of a higher race number than his Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen for the 2009 season.

The Brazilian ran the number 2 in 2008, following Raikkonen's title success the year before.

But Massa was the standout Ferrari performer last season, winning six races compared to Finn
Raikkonen's two, and coming within a single point of Lewis Hamilton's drivers' crown.

However, Massa will run the number 4 on his F60 this year, while Raikkonen's entry will run the number 3.

"It means nothing, numbers are just numbers but maybe the FIA has made a mistake," Massa said at the 'Wrooom' Ferrari media event.

I really like Massa, but I feel he will suffer this year compared to Raikonnen. I think Kimi may have it up him a bit to prove that he can still get the results.

Apart from Ferrari's kerazy last-year's-Renault style wing mirrors too, of course.

True. But what I've seen of helmet cameras, mirrors seem next to useless. Surely some bright spark would think to use a rearview camera and mini display on the wheel.

But would that be legal? Who knows.

Wing mirrors are probably useful in the pits and for glimses of people, just to see what side they are on when behind you or trying to overtake.

Never mind that - who have they got commentating?

I'm counting on at least a 3 way title fight this year, with Hamilton Vs Alonso being the main event.

The Mclaren comes out today doesn't it? Looking forward to that as the Mclaren usually always looks awesome.

Surely "The Chain" is a dead cert for the theme tune. It is as iconic as the MoTD theme.

This is audio of Legard who I've never heard before this;



I can't tell the difference between him and the ITV one, the exact same voices.

Nah, I think they're pretty different - be interesting to see how well Legard makes the transition to TV though.

McLaren launch their 2009 car in 15 minutes.
