I see Raikkonen is sporting a new, better aerodynamic haircut. Things must be getting desperate in Enstone for that elusive win.

This short hair always fit him better imo. I hope the win comes soon, Lotus deserves a win! I hope Schumacher gets a win too , at least 1 this season…

I thought Germany was a month after Silverstone so this has come as a nice surprise…

mclaren have an interesting sidepod development…http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151089452036413&set=a.10151089450181413.487596.12254981412&type=1&theater

nice one that was what i was trying to spot, cause Whitmarsh has already told F1.com that in a piece also featured at F1 fanatic that their new sidepods were much different, i would say crazy different.

apparently the winglet is attached to the sidepod below and not the engine cover perpendicular (makes sense as engine cover winglets are banned)

Their new sidepods are similar to the ones on the Ferrari.
