David Pitchforth has given us a hint that the Jaguar will be using a 'traditional' nose.Nothing interesting with this car then....

Traditional relative to Williams' I suppose.

Jaguar tested the R5 in a Belgian test facility where they specialise testing cars while guaranteeing maximum security from spy shooters. Most major car manufacturers test top speeds of cars here because you cant use any camouflage on such speed.

The R5 is said to have not even completed its first out lap before it headed straight back to the pits with a broken gearbox! After about an hour of work it returned to the track for another six laps before calling it a day! Oh dear oh dear,start as you mean to go on,etc,etc.

The R5 has also incorporated the same major problem the R4 had. That was rear wheel traction, they seemed to be going through their rear tyres to quickly.
Noew with all these unfortunate incidents they can't see to get any testing done to rectify the problem.
I'm still hoping Webber has a very good season.
