What a car!!!!!New FW26 unveiled

[DasModell]

what a freak looking nose .. i laugh when i first seen the pictures

[bum-man]

well if it wins the races who cares...i personally like the MP4-19 better and i still think its the car to beat.

[defchef]

the nose looks really strange...
of course the MP4-19 will be the car to beat(hope so)

the construction looks more stable !!?? (FW 26)

[white devil]

guy s it is strange looking .....

but why do you think all cars r similar looking because it was the best way to let the car be stable on high speed and with the wind so this car has a new design that might be better than the older one and if so you will see all the other cars copying it ....So it s eather they will copy williams or copy williams
hey guys did you see the video go and look

[bum-man]

the fact is the only radically new design on the new FW26 is the new front nose, other than that it retains the same basic rear end (although midified slightly). where as the new mp4-19 is a completely new design and shows a lot of potential...the only thing i worry about the new mp4-19 is reliability at the moment, since the engine compartment is so compact.

You are pure genius. I wouldnt want any other car in the grid to look like that so we can laugh at it. As for the MP4-19 I wonder what coloured smoke will come out the exhaust this year.

[bum-man]

the ilmor only blew up once during the 2003 season if thats what you were reffering too.

[JJ72]

Surely will be a brilliant season.

very "Williams" indeed. Engineering at it's best.

(But non-technically speaking, usually the beautiful car wins )

[Homem de Gelo]

The FW26 is a very exciting car and very promissing. It's has gone in the opposite direction teams have been going in quite a while and now we are caught wondering if a new trend will emerge.

I really hope it's successful, but I hope the MP4-19 is more.

hey dude does anybody have the performance list for this beast

[bum-man]

if you are looking specific specs such as engine performance your not going to get it because almost everything in F1 is speculation, the teams dont want to give away vital information ya know.

The front nose is ugly!

[white devil]

The front nose is ugly!

who cares??? is it a car that people will drive it on the road as long as the performance is good and it kikss asses ...then that is what we care about

[fede]

yeah, the nose its very ugly, but it is so ugly that its kind of cute
despite its uglyness, it must be very good in terms of performance though
