Ferrari and McLaren launch new car
The Scuderia launched their new car yesterday with Mclaren following suit today. The new Williams has also been sighted at a sponsors event, looking rather sponsorship light. I also noticed that despite the naysayers, the cars don't look much bigger, even though they have a larger fuel tank. There has been lots of talk of hoped success this year and that their cars are a logical development from last year etc. I wish that a team would just say, for once, "We've started from scratch; Derek had a great idea down the pub and we've built something completely different for a change."
But they won't, of course.
Anyway, all the bluster and optimism is irrelevant as 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating' as they say. Whether or not a car is good all depends on it's performance once it hits the tracks of Belgium, France , Spain, the assorted middle east countries and of course, our own Silverstone. I for one, can't wait to see the first race without refuelling for 16 years (has it been that long?). I think I may put some money on Jensen...
