Cheers Ice. I hate this god damn digital launches. They just drip feed a picture ever so long. Just gives us a presentation ala Mclaren/Ferrari!

In my day (boy that makes me feel old) we'd have to wait for Thursday when black and white photos were printed in Autosport magazine.

I remember avidly hoping Sky News would show something back in the mid 90's when Damon Hill was the rage.

You lucky person. I never had Sky so relied on either BBC news or Ceefax / teletext :lol: Then there was Autosport magazine which never went full color until the early/mid-nineties.

lol! I was 6 years old back in 1996! The papers sometimes did things, but mostly around british-orientated teams IE Williams and Mclaren.

It seems to be the best looking car, by a very large margin. But then, it takes very little to do that :zz:

But what a crappy launch by Sauber. Only 2 angles, can't see much of it to make up the mind. MEH :(

At first I thought it was a photoshop. It's the same 2013 car but with a different nose, even the greyesque background and the way the picture is taken is exactly the same as last year. It's the best-looking car yet, but its just... the same.. a bit anti-climactic.

Well what can you expect when FIA bans/destroys everthing that teams come up like f duct, double diffuzers, blown diffuzers, DRS holes..
Everything.. so you cant expect something different cuz all will be one day same like GP2, only engine different
