Pre-Season 2013 Car Launches

I can spot it! The top one has '1' on the side wing, the bottom has '2'.

Uncanny

On the whole the cars do look more aesthetically pleasing than last year. I also think we should place bets on how long it'll be before something on the RB9 is protested against by the other teams. My money's on the second pre season test

Mercedes have started to turn the lights on in their "garage". Seems like the whole thing has just been to string people along until the real thing on Monday... definitely worked though!

What is that addition that looks like it is under the rear wing of the Red Bull? And has Infinity stomped up some extra cash?

 

[Josh]

I kinda like the new Red Bull. Sauber's car is like porn on wheels though (compared to the others).

The thing under the rear wing is another little wing, or "winglet", like Ferrari had last year.

A closer look from From F1Fanatic:

Is that not a monkey seat?

 

[Brogan]

That's Mark's seat, reinforcing his second driver position in the team.

 

[Mephistopheles]

I wonder if it has a tiny DRS flap..

Where are his pedals?

more shots of the RB9

Going by the illustration at the top of the page, it looks to me like the RB's keel is shorter this year and the barge boards are much smaller.

Off topic but with words like keel, barge boards, wings and nosecones, you'd never know we were talking about cars
