So, here we are again. A new season beckoning, all the teams have their new toys out of the box and are merrily testing away in Jerez. Notable changes, obviously the front end of most cars has come in for plenty of criticism/ comment, personally I think they'll grow on us. The notable exception seems to be the McLaren MP4-27. Have they missed a trick or are they going really give the RB8 a run for its money?

Talking of the RB8, Red Bulls 2012 car, designer Adrian Newey states that the slit in the nose bodywork is only to cool the drivers!! Mmmm do we believe that and more to the point do the other teams, are we going to see so
E sand-bagging at Jerez and then the RB8 storming away with another title?

Questions galore this time of the year, I have like most of you have no real answers at the moment but the prospect of this coming season unfolding is one not to be missed, with the tweak in regulations, new look cars and a smattering of new young drivers across the grid March 16th can't come quick enough.

Just a quick belated name check, many thanks to Gary Marshal for organising a very enjoyable and successful trip to the Donington collection way back at the beginning of January, it was great to meet some old friends, Andreas, Gary, Jane and to meet new friends and twitter followers Alex Goldschmidt Martyn Dalton and Trinnifer. Hope to see you all again soon.
