My new car has arrived, at Jerez
I have been waiting for this day. Now I can say winter is not feeling so bad this year.

Sure wish I could see under the cover...
This is the first time Renault has also tested its new V8 engine on track - its testing before Christmas was compelted with a limited V10 engine in the back of last year's championship-winning car. Giancarlo Fisichella is completing the first shakedown test laps of the new car.

as with past renaults, the aero package looks great. i count at least 10 winglets per side from the front wing on back through the rear wing. if renault is leaving f1, they look to go out on a winning note. i hope they stay in.

It looks like the gill slits have been nixed. I also like the curve in the rear wing.

You can see right through the bodywork...

Yes, I think the cars will look much "sexier" this year with the reduced radiator requirements of the V8s vs the V10s.
