    6% logical evolution!

    also good news about Bianchi, I think he is the best of the new french crop but Pic, Vergne and Grosjean somehow got drives before him!

    That's a design of something else, nothing to do with the MP4-27 (see Mclaren thread on f1technical).

    I'd be surprised if the MP4-27 looks like that but I can't wait see what McLaren have done.

    Kubica is aiming to be back in the simulator and possibly a car in June.

    I'm particularly interested in his attitude of coming back 100% or not at all. In my opinion, this is probably a good attitude as it at least means that he's willing to admit defeat and not waste his, or the team's efforts if he can't cut it.

    I have a strong feeling we may see him in DTM or WTCC in the next few years.

    Peter Sauber confirms his car too will have the ugly nose!

    Also when asked what the livery scheme will be this year he replied.
    "Its a secret"
    but confirmed it will contain White, dark grey and red......Something like this...

    Sutil is in court today and also rumoured (along with Petrov) to be Ferrari's reserve driver. I reckon Marc Gene will be named Ferrari's reserve driver with Sutil becoming the reserve driver at Mercedes.

    I've loved the Sauber livery these last two years, looks quite sleek. Though I still find it sad they struggle to attract sponsors.

    does anybody else feel Sauber are a team sitting in limbo waiting for the economy to recover before some big wig buys them out?

    Its already been named. Its the GP2 driver Rigon with gene and fisi. They also have Perez and Bianchi on back up so there is no need for petrov or sutil

    Definitely, but then they nearly ceased to exist a couple of years ago so of course they will be.
