"08:57 We've had quite a few questions about the tyre allocation for testing. Teams have 25 sets of Pirellis, covering the soft, medium and hard compounds, and are free to run them as they please. We will do our best to identify which compound drivers are using on their runs."

Quoted of autosports live service.

According to AMuS the teams are free too use every compound (100 sets for the winter testing), but everyone decided not to take the supersofts for the first test.

EDIT: Too late. And obviously AMuS got it wrong as the 100 sets include the fourth mid season testing ...

The new exhausts have not been thoroughly track tested and McLaren probably cut those slits in the bulge fairings in order to minimise the possibility of overheating and catastrophic failure.

IT also seems from the car pics that the Mercedes still has the exhausts mounted on the floor of the car....i mean really...what is the point?

No streams, FOM doesn't allow any coverage I read somewhere.

I think the MCL exhaust installation is a simple way to check different flow directions.

For me the most ugly car is Lotus E20. The nose is so narrow. I don't see the point to make it so narrow if you want more air flow under the car.
