Re: 2008 Formula 1 Car Launch Dates

I saw a closer look on Sports Tonight and they have piggy-backed of Ferrari with the cover over the rim.

The launch of the Williams FW30 is going to be delayed for a week. They will still test at Jerez, only that it will be the FW29, with the new gearbox that Toyota will also use.

BMW Sauber is released, next up my favourite of them all, Red Bull.

by **Admin_Holden** Tue Jan 15, 2008 3:38 am

BMW looks nice and neat with a minor livery change to the wing to the drivers seat I can see. Apart from that and the new T Mobile sponsorship and the bridge there are no changes I think.

by **--->Da[V]id<---** Tue Jan 15, 2008 4:35 am

The front wing looks a bit like the wing from the MP4-23

They are all adopting Ferrari's idea of having the cover over the rim.

Boy I can't wait until the RB4 is launched. Just one more sleep...

by **--->Da[V]id<---** Thu Jan 17, 2008 3:03 am

Finally the RB4 is out!!!

by **--->Da[V]id<---** Thu Jan 17, 2008 6:27 am

The RB4 doesn't look different, but there are probably changes that you have to go right up to it to see. The blue paint looks brighter and they've changed the rims.

You two are real F1 fanatics aren't you? lol

I love the RB4. Webber said in a Fox Sports Interview that he hated the "no traction control" policy that the FIA have adopted for 2008. I don't like the idea either, which makes the starts and the torque out of corners a lot more critical. It's sort of like the banning of bleed-off valves in 1998 which keeps the tyres warm during safety car periods.
As well as that the Webber and Coulthard suits look so uber-cool with the retro style number up the top right hand side.

I like the idea as it will really show the drivers talent...

Once again, I like it! More driver, less car!

Lets just hope that the RB4 is competitive our Aussie does well and makes sure he doesn't get rammed by another bull! Very Happy

by **Admin_Holden** Fri Jan 18, 2008 6:59 am

...or Sebastien Vettel... anyway...

by **--->Da[V]id<---** Sat Jan 19, 2008 10:27 am

Super Aguri are just gonna have an updated version of Honda's 2007 chassis.

by **--->Da[V]id<---** Tue Jan 22, 2008 9:30 am

Williams and Renault chassis' have been launched today. Unfortunately, they were unable to have a maiden run due to poor visibility.

by **fordman6** Tue Jan 22, 2008 11:50 am

bugger!

by **--->Da[V]id<---** Tue Jan 22, 2008 12:15 pm

They look similar to their previous models, but the Williams will probably launch a final livery later on.

by **fordman6** Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:06 pm

oh ok...

by **--->Da[V]id<---** Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:19 pm

Go on the F1 site and you will see the FW30 there...

by **Admin_Holden** Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:29 pm

Thanks for the info Dave.

Uh... they are the same for some reason, but I'm sure they'll be different pages...

by **--->Da[V]id<---** Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:36 pm

I noticed that, but they are different pages all together somehow...

by **Admin_Holden** Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:41 pm

Actually I read too quick. They ARE different. My bad. Now I'll go back on topic. I LOOOOOVE the Williams car, but I don't see any differences with the Renault car, apart from the bridge. Uhh... more McLaren designs?!!?!?!!??!?!?!

by **--->Da[V]id<---** Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:42 pm

Maybe. but I'd doubt it...
