I was actually waiting for someone to bring this up. The F1.09 was one of my favorite designs. I take back what I said about the F10, the F1.09 was the most beautiful car of late.

I remember showing a friend of mine (who doesn't watch F1 at all) the 2009 BMW when it was first shown. I was telling him how the rule changes made the cars look completely different... and guess what he said in reply? "Isn't that how F1 cars have always looked? It's exactly the same!"

:P

I would add

Nope, first win came year earlier.
