Nice pics, but i would like to now wich car is faster, i mean on the ra108 they are further down on the rankings then in 2007 when they were about 12-19 but now you can call them minardi with a big budget, if they are lucky they can survive the first qualifying.
I find it amusing that the high-downforce 2008 front wings lack Gurney flaps. Maybe these new wings stall at higher AOA, but I don't really have a clue. There's also a lot of difference between both canadian front wings. given that the canadian rear wings were weird (apart from low angle), are they trying to compound for lack of downforce created by the nose?
I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.

What's also amusing, is the 2007 endplates being much more similar to Ferrari's than their 2008 ones. On the other hand, it's not suprising, both considering Ross Brawn, which is the true irony.
What is obvious though, is that they've ditched their more complex-looking solutions from winter testing for more elementary, but most likely more predictable, ideas. Don't blindly copy other teams, stick with what you know and works, learn to understand it well, develop from there.

good memory
just want to add that RA108'S endplates are also very similar to Mc Laren MP4/21 2006 and MP4/22 2007
