Re: F1 2008

Interesting to see the rear wing for next years aero regs. Pretty skinny! Hopefully it will allow some closer racing.

Also that Williams nose cone is quite Mclaren like

I think that it's closer to a RedBull nose - fat and flat(McLren's is slim and sharp):

The lower winglet also is very close to BMWs(straight). So that is why i said it's a RedBull/BMW hybrid.

It's not getting easier for Schumi junior:

"The German newspaper Bild am Sonntag pointed out that the 32-year-old finished narrowly in front of the race's two female competitors, Susie Stoddart and Katherine Legge."

True. He was also interviewed by a Brazilian newspaper (O'Globo) and said he was very happy about the development work undertaken so far.
