It's odd seeing the cars without those stupid frisbee things on the side of the wheels. I'd be interested to see the 2009 and 2010 cars side by side though. See where the difference are. Main thing I spotted though, no fuel cap  Found them... http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2010/01/28/2 ... -pictures/Also, there is a fuel cap but it's incredibly small.

Well I thought the new Ferrari looked really hot. Looks are never a good yardstick in F1 though. With no refuelling it could be interesting. Looking forward to it anyway.

A smart move by Button. His Braun car has lost it's advantage by the end of last season and I can't see that changing by the start of this one.

OMG, the 2008 car was ugly...  I much prefer the retro and clean look of the current generation.

It's a good question, but don't forget last year Force India and Brawn had the works Merc engines.

I like the overhead view of the 2008 car actually. Looks like a Transformer lol. The new car is looking a bit sexy mind you. I was hoping Mercedes would go for a fully stripped back look so it would be full carbon fibre exposed. I suppose sponsors decals might have been tricky but it would have looked great. At least some of it is exposed. Looking forward to seeing the new 2010 WDC winner Lewis Hamiltons car  _________________Twitter Blogflickr
