    Virgin launched today. Interesting thing about this car is that it's the first car in F1 ever to be designed entirely by computer and NO wind tunnel running.

    I think it's right up there as my favourite new design - loving the needle point nose. Bet it runs like a pig though...

    Yeah baby that looks awesome!! I LOVE that paint scheme. I reckon this will be like throwing the cat amongst the pigeons so to speak being all computer designed only and no wind tunnel influences... I think this car will do pretty damn good and it is just going to boil down to whether or not the drivers can bring out its full potential!!

    Man there are so many more teams this year its hard to pick one to follow/support

    My teams so far are, Virgin (seen now), Lotus (not seen yet) and Team Mercedes GP Petronas (seen)

    Yeah, it's a cracking looking car.

    Have you seen the pace of the Sauber? I can't decide if they are just running light to get sponsors or not. If they are running full weight - it's this years Brawn :-)
