I just hope that Trulli's time is evidence that the car has the pace it needs,... not just the fact that he can run a very quick flying lap when he needs to.

It would be nice to see a breakdown of the laps each driver runs. Fastest lap's are useless for making any predictions. If we had more to look at, we could actually make an educated guess at the cars pace...

The new front wing, if you look VEEERY closely appears to be 3 and a half planes. Look just under the white element you can clearly see a cut out.... Hmmmm

Looks like a modified front wing for F1.08
Hi All,

This is my first post here, but have been reading this site anonymously for a long time.

Back to the topic, by looking at this pic it appears BMW have increased the length of the mirror supports. Maybe I'm wrong but I think by doing this the mirrors are not that closer to the cockpit as they were in the earlier cars.
Thanks,

Jumaal

Looks like it's to get them out of the airstream the fwd horns have influenced.
