BMW Sauber 2010 contender, hope they wont kick themselves like Honda is doing

their car looks really nice. Nice front , nice underbody shape near the sidepods

The new Mercedes W01 as seen in the F1 testing at Valencia. It too has the Red Bull nose and looks beautiful. Consider a lot more to change as March arrives.

We will know by end of day the relative speeds of most cars.

Torro Rosso Unveil their car in Valencia. The High Shark fin appearing in most of the cars this season.

The wheelbase looks quite normal compared to the Mclaren & Ferrari!

Best looking car on the grip IMO

The pics of the 2010 contenders are really awesome

Are you sure the Merc has a pull-rod rear suspension ? It appears to be a standard push-rod to me.

I'm also guessing a pull-rod suspension would limit the size & shape of the rear diffuser - a problem faced by Red-Bull last year (once the so-called "double diffusers" were deemed legal).

Have you got any pictures of the diffusers? The backs have been the most guarded secret of all cars.
