Pictures of the Ferrari F2006:
http://www.f1racing.net/en/ph[....]e.php?photoID=54799&catID=1924
Compared to last year's F2005, the F2006 has winglets similar to the McLaren 'horns', the sidepods tuck in sharply in front of the rear wheels (presumably with the smaller V8 engine, smaller radiators are used) and the position of the mirrors looks as if they will sit below the turbulent air from the front wheels, creating little drag. |

Whaaaaaaat Ferrari usin' a V8 engine  I thought it's STANDARD in the F1 races to use V10 engines which produces 700-800 horses 
I just hope that Ferrari will win more races this year, as the Renault Team got the TOP prize last year. It will be a different FEEL in the race track this year for the Ferrari Team as Reubens Barrichello will be joining the Bar Honda (is it  ) Team !
DRIVER's START YOUR ENGINES !!!!
2006 F1 race will commence this March!

@JN: For the 2006 season, V8 engines (or restricted V10s) are standard. Tyre changes are back and there is a new qualifying format - The slowest 5 cars are excluded at 15 minute intervals |

top door slammer V8's produce way more power than an F1 engine 
Take Victor Bray's '57 Chev for example - 3000 Horsepower, Quarter mile in 6.056 seconds, best MPH time of 245mph (world record for doorslammer).

Yay Shumis back! Nice to finally see, Its gonna be a tough season this year although those Mclarens look menacing!
Im not sure bout Massa abilities maybe its too early to judge him.
While watchin yesterday i tawt they should bring back turbos in F1, that will give them little V8s some power, right now they 5 seconds slower than last year!! WTF? 
But did u notice the rev limited V10s on the straights?? They were damn fast!!!
Raikonens drive was standard... All the top teams that start at the back end up with a surprise finish. |

i think clearly THE drive of the day had to belong to nico rosberg. rookie driver gets punted and spun around at the first corner, loses 45 sec trundling bak to the pits to get a nosecone replaced, then storms back to within 15 sec or so of his teammate into 7th, posting fastest lap of the race twice in the process. truly outstanding!
shows that he deserves to be in F1 not only for his father's name. keke must have been so proud. |

Gotta agree, I thought Rosberg may have tried to survive in F1 on his name, but his performance was blinding, he's more than deserved his right to race with the big guns.
Also, I would just like to point out that what Raikkonen did, coming last to third was unbelievable! Considering he mad that race with loads of fuel and only on two sets of tyres! Don't get me wrong, watching Alonso stick it Schumi was great, but just wait until Raikkonen starts at the front, then you'll see the REAL pace of the McLarens!
Finally, I'm a bit sceptical about Ferrari's pace, as they were one of the few teams that actually bothered testing in Bahrain. you woould hope they'd be quick with all the data they now must have, so, I'm not sure how good their pace will be in the next few races.
Great to have F1 back!!!
Cheers guys

Actually im surprised by raikkonen's drive,it was damn good,but the point is mercedes engine was underpowered,they had to cut the revs ,heck , even nobert haug said he'll surprised to see mclarens in a top positions.
Im not liking the red in the mclarens though.
