This just showed up on my FB page this morning and got me thinking about the new season:

It looks like the launches are scheduled to commence next week. I hope we can have a another good season, and I really hope Lotus can field a more competitive car this year so Kimi can mount a serious challenge.

Let the games begin.

Just read an interview with Robert Kubica in F1 Mag.

Expect to see him in a Lotus, replacing Roaming CrashJohn in 2014...perhaps sooner.

Still waiting for Ross Brawn to be ousted by Merc before the season starts: hot on the heels of Toto Wolff & Lauda being installed there, and Doughnuts Haug being asked to leave...perhaps a REALLY bad move by Lewis...?

Lotus out with the first launch today:

I do hope that they can keep a good pace up. I'd love to see Kimi able to put in a serious challenge. Maybe Grosjean will continue his fine race form take out the competition.

Nice to see that Mac haven't opted for the "stepped nose".
There were rumours that they might have gone that route.

That front wing is definitely a nick from the "Batmobile" school of design... Cool

You beat me to it DS. The high front end on the Ferrari reminds me of the '98-99 car, and another one without the ugly step.

I'm glad they're using the vanity cover. If this car can turn out to be a good qualifyer then I think Alonso has a great shot at the title this year. The back end looks a lot more agressive than the Mac rear. The Lotus looks pretty tidy as well.

Well, we'll have to see what Newey came up with this season.

And how many teams are just fielding a development of last year and putting the bigger effort into next year with big changes?

RBR and Ferrari have to be considered faves this year. But we'll see.
Here's a real looker, love the livery.

LOL at Sauber.

The Ronster's gonna be furious.

Toro Rosso:

Another high nose. Anyone wondering if Lotus is doing some extra wind tunnel work?

Force India:

2013 car launches... Force-india-2013-f1-car

Marussia:

2013 car launches... Ddr1202nov307

Caterham:

2013 car launches... Cate-ct03-2013-7-886x590-452x300

So only Lotus and Caterham still having the stepped noses. I'm thinking that will change on the Lotus.
