Pictures are awesome. Thanks Keith. It would be great to get some tire shots of cars returning to the pits. That would be a true telltale of how teams are really doing.
I think they did the same last year (during testing) but have not used it since (Im sure somebody will konow better). Ferrari ran a V cut out in the centre of their top rear wing today.
Heidfeld’s helmet looks perfect in the Renault. That overhead shot from pitstop practice is great. The giant red stripe marking the pitlane looks nice with the car’s colors. I kind of like how the four airgun operators have red helmets while the rest of the crew have gold. That whole livery is really growing on me. Especially now with a German driver, Black/Red/Gold is very appropriate.
Try and get a picture of the camera Button ran for the last hour of testing today. It sits on the engine cover inline with the raised sidepods. I Would be interested in how this camera creates an enclosed tunnel to channel air to the rear diffuser. Also would like scarbs to comment.

Has anyone noticed changes to any of the cars? I can’t seem to spot any so far.
The black paint on the rear wing of the Force India actually looks nicer than I thought.

Brilliant pics thanks. That dark Red Bull pic is a must have desktop for any Red Bull fan!
I’m rocking a Force India one at the moment!

JustAnF1Fanatic probably meant that he uses that pit stop picture as his desktop, rather than claiming he made it ;-)

No problem, I and very possibly a great majority of regulars here fully agree with your feelings on stealing pictures (and stories) like that.

The tyres donpt have the flat Pirelli logo, it’s curved: http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/barr_will_barc_2011-5.jpg

Maybe it’s the perspective and the speed, but it looks curved to me.

Yeah, it’s just that the motion blur distorts it circularly.

is that Mercedes’s rear wing using dfr? because they don’t have the system used by most of the teams if so, with that middle device…?
