I wondering too if the tub was different.....

EDIT:- It doesn't look different, but it is not easy when there are 2 people stood in the way.

Rumor is it that they will turn up with 2 new tubs that are up to 15kilos lightter and a car that is very different to what finished at Bahrain as they seemingly have a almost B spec aero update going on.

I recon they could have found up to a second in pace somewhere. If they have, someone somewhere at more than a couple of teams will be really worried.

This isnt the 1960s of formula with new cars everywhere, i highly doubt they have found a second in pace... If they couldnt find it over 2 seasons why would they find it over 4 weeks?

To be fair this is the first time HRT have been able to develop properly.

Based on some De La Rosa words, even tough they have new upgrades, the Barcelona circuit can expose the F112 aerodyamic performance, but he sounds optimistic for the near future, seems they have some updates in the pipeline.

Perhaps this was essentially an interm car while the 'B-spec' was finalized. Finding that second over the course of the entire off-season (and half of last season) is much more realistic.

it's nice to see the number on the car.
I read somewhere that Ecclestone want's car/driver numbers back.
Dunno if this is related ... but I like it !

That would be great. There is very strong brand association with rider's numbers in Motogp. I mean, who doesn't know VR46? I think it may be a may to kick up more long term fan based support for riders than having their number changed every year. Just stand back while they all fight over Red 5.
