It looks great with that car shape! I used to do my own F1 cars, I don't think I'll bother any more!

When I first saw the car on grandprix2.de I thought it was DJS' new Ferrari. Then at the second view I realized it is MWi&TdK's. The car looks great! Now I'm looking forward to what DJS' answer will be! :D

Nice helmet of Glock! I like this design.

The car looks damn flat in a way. This winglets there destroy the car design in my eyes. They are too high for me :wink:

I like this car very much. For me it's the best looking Toyota ever! Glocks helmet looks cool, very similar to Schumis!! :P

Glock's helmet is indeed pretty cool, i just hope we get to see it near the front cos I've always rated him, but he didn't seem to be able to get anywhere. We're talking about a driver who scored points in his first GP, in a Jordan, when he wasn't even expecting to race. Not many can score points in their first race, and those that do are usually on the fast track to success, so God knows why nobody was interested in Glock!

As for the car, it looks pretty solid, but maybe a year or two out of date. Quite why they're persevering with those things in front of the sidepods (the kind that Honda have had for the last two years) is a bit beyond me, given that even Honda had given up on developing them in favour of aero solutions towards the rear, where there is more scope for development.

So Prodrive have abandoned plans to ever enter F1 now. David Richards has stated that under no circumstances would they build their own car. Shame that, as Prodrive would be more than capable of it and it means no 12th team for the foreseeable future. Maybe if Paul Stoddart lodged an entry...

If it would not have those winglets Greyhead described I would second you :wink:

ADDITION: Force India confirmed Fisico. Liuzzi is the official third driver. Do you think that they could rotate them?

I didn't think I'd say that any time soon, but subjectively, that's one of the nicest-looking Toyota F1 cars I've seen in years. Especially from the front, I like the way it looks.

Thanks TDK :)

I also like the Toyota, let`s see if the new look also helps them in scoring more points :D

Fisico at Force India...let`s see if he can fight back or retires after that season. I don`t think they plan a regular rotation, but if Fisi is not good enough they`ll surely switch drivers. But intresting, they go for fast drivers instead of drivers with a big wallet - hope this works well, it`s a pity what happened to the former Jordan team in the last 2 years #-o

Wurz as Testdriver at Honda...I thought he wanted to retire :-k

Wurz said he retired, because Toyota paid him to say so, it wasn't really his decision.... :lol:

I'll release the Ferrari when I get the green light for it. :-"
