2009 - 2010 McLaren comparison. http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2010/01/29/c ... -pictures/OK, so this one really doesn't have a fuel cap  Very narrow back end also, where the hell does the engine go in that thing?

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Are they definitely implementing the new points system?
I heard 25 for a win, 18 for 2nd etc.. and the first 10 cars over the line now score points.

Yeah, also the front wing is going to have to do a lot of work to keep the front tyres warm and on the ground. More so than last year I mean.

Problem will be running fuel, with no refueling this season the car needs to handle well full to empty.
They also need to workout consumption as a slight over fill could cost the team heavily in time.
