Toyota TF109

[axle]

lol - the much loved end plates have gone!

One more in favour of the fins here. I just think teams need to integrate them better with the engine covers - the liveries need a redesign with them in mind. See how awful the Renault R28's livery expands into the sharkfin as an example of bad integration - it looks awfully tacked-on. The logos on the Toyota also seem to do that - just barely stretching onto the fin, leaving it mostly bare.


Also, god dammit those slicks look better used. I found the shiny glitzing examples on the launch cars terrible - but with this matte "finish" after a lap, they look so much better.

I find it funny that in the "TF109 build" video, the video actually starts out with a TF108.

Around the 58second mark, they "switch" it with a TF109 to finish it off.

hehe, sneaky buggers

Whitch brings me to the question, are Toyota just running a modified TF108 tub for the TF109???

Let me remind you

Outrageous, but when it's surely the last of F1 Toyotas, cut them some slack to go out in their own fashion.

[MattF1]

Looks fine to me.

I like this too. Looks quite sexy, actually, and I've never said that about a Toyota-coloured F1 car before.

Oddly enough this car reminds me that Ralf biased TF106B and TF107 cars, hope it performs better. Lets all cross fingers for Toyota this year - seems like they need to show something strong this year in order to stay in F1!

The more i look at that front wing it reminds me of the ugly FW26 front wing.

[ISLAMATRON]

anyone else notice the cascade wings added to the front wings, they werent there at launch, but a simple add on. there also seems like they added a cutout to bleed air from the the endplates back onto the wing.
