AussieTimmeh should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
So are we expecting any cars to have a low nose or all high?

Cars used to really look different to me by their noses but this year they are looking most different in the dorsal fin area to me.

Maybe it's just the photos, but the sidepods do look rather strange to me... need to see more photos of them.

They seem to have very high intakes, similar to those of McLaren.

Didn't like too much, the nose cone is almost at the same level of the wheels, also that front wing remembered me an A1GP car. I was expecting a definitive painting but they're obviously still seeking sponsors.

Certainly looks interesting with those sidepods - still surprising they haven't officially changed the name yet. Assuming Marbot's timing is right, less than an hour and a half to go until the covers come off the new Renault.

Here's a cool pic.

I rather like this latest addition, I prefer simple livery myself...The Sauber could surprise and turn a few heads this year in more ways than one..

The thought of Sauber, be it Kobayashi or DLR, winning a race next year, let alone the title, is enough for me to cream myself. I really hope these guys do well. My new favourite team

White and grey on that image, white and blue at the official launch. Interesting. I agree with jab that they are a team to look out for possibly, Kobayashi has demonstrated good pace in two races last year, and while Pedro seems like a bad choice if you think about it it actually is logical - rookie and someone with great experience.

Agreed.

No problems with 'BMW' name apparently.

BMW are probably happy as well, they get their name in F1 despite quitting and the car has somewhat a bmw esque livery to match.

Front wing looks really advanced, but then again they are probably not showing the real front wing in their launch, probably saving that for real work.

Yum! Nice looking car, I think it's the most pleasing to look att out of all the other cars we've seen so far. The livery is cool too, I'm not a big fan of cars that have a tonne of white on them (I found Brawn's livery last year really boring to be honest) but this one works. I'm not confident it'll stay like that though, maybe a Williams-like test livery before the full livery is launched ahead of Bahrain?

Oh, and any ideas when Renault launch their car? I thought it was today...
