    What are the significant changes to any of the cars so far?? I read that Ferrari have a new exhaust but what is different about it?? What about the other cars, are there visible differences worth noting???

      Look at the first picture of Alonso’s Ferrari from above, you can see the exhaust pipe very clearly(old one does not), and, The shark-fin also clearly changed it’s shape.

        Thanks for the updates…its early and I just looked past those differences. Why are some exhaust systems dumping out onto a black surface and others onto painted surfaces? Seems like the massive temp would boil away any paint. What is that black material?

          Could it be this? http://www.high-temperature-composites.com/high-temperature-composites-and-fire-barriers-pyrosic-pyrokarb.htm I know PyroSic is used on F1 cars.

    @Keith Shouldn’t it be Nico Hulkenberg, Force India??

    Wow. Amazing! I’d love to see a race here — even if it was only for the scenery!
