New Ferrari F2008 Nose

First test session out of the way and second under way. Some new and interesting changes are being tried out as we thought might be the case and the new nose from Ferrari is the first to catch the eye of everyone. A nose with one hole is better than a nose with no hole is the thinking I guess :) and if this new nose had anything to do with their times yesterday, watch out. Yesterday it was Felipe Massa who was testing for Ferrari and indeed he was fast.

Renault R28 Engine Fin

Today, in an effort to bring their car up to par, Renault are looking strangely like Red Bull by sporting their version of the Red Bull fin over the engine cover which is designed to improve stability under breaking. As of yet, no results on how this improved handling, but we’ll know shortly. If you can’t beat them, join them as they say.
