    sorry to say this but the 09 cars are ugly, the whole high rear spoiler thing ruins the look. F1 cars were becoming better looking but now its reverting back to its old ways, they look more like the F1 cars of pre 97.

    Remember everyone in the UK, the new F1 seasons starts on the day the clocks go forward, so no missing the first hour of the race because you forgot!

    Just because it's your opinion doesn't rule out whether its racist or not. All racism is based on peoples opinion, not facts as you say.

    The 09 cars look awesome. The 08 cars almost hurt my eyes there was so much going on.

    If the 09 cars had wide rear wings instead of tall, they'd be stunning!

    If you don't want people to think you're trying to be racist, you shouldn't say thinks which sound racist.

    There's a video from red bull detailing the changes to the cars for the new season. Also, the stupidity with cars being penalized because they have to pit after a SC is deployed has been revised. Not sure what else has changed, if anything. The video and more can be seen here:

    Quite helpful, I thought.
