    F1 2009 : Welcome to planet stupid



    Ok no giggling at the back, but I mean honestly, this is the interim car for BMW 2009's season - its the one they have been testing with in Barcelona - ok slicks are back, thats cool, at first I thought the rear wing had been photochopped then I see the front.

    WTF are they playing at...

    Not only that but now Bernie wants to do medals instead of points - yeah cos thats going to make it as entertaining as last year....eeejits

    Wow, that looks....different...

    But I suppose its not about looks, its about making the car go as fast as possible while abiding by the rules and regs.

    does it really matter how the car looks like ? As long as it goes fast and win races i'm sure they can forgive the fugly wing design. Perhaps theres a confusion among the people working with its aerodynamics

    i would guess this is a Proto, I would put my backside on it that the 2009 car is not the same.

    Well, that '50s job appears to be equipped with a torpedo tube, so they might be ahead of you already...

    Correct. It's a 2009 front and rear wing on a 2008 car.

    That said they are still going to look a bit weird.

    I'm all for getting rid of much of the aero, but surely one wide wing at the back would do the same job.

    I think there is going to be some strange winners in early 2009 due to all the different changes. Some teams will do a better job than others more through luck than good judgement.
