OK Race Fans,

McLaren / Mercedes has finally launched their new car, http://www.f1.on.net/news/0201.103.htm.

Here are the Technical Spec's, http://www.f1.on.net/news/0201.100.htm.

Now is a great time to enjoy F1!

and lets hope they will launch it on the track as well...lasts year's results were too poor!! I even turned out the television during the last 2 races.

Just a practical off-topic question; if I want to watch the races in the states (later this year), do I have to get up at night or are they shown in the early morning? (normally the races start at 14h european time)

greetingz,

No, lets hope they DON'T "launch" it on the track - no more flying cars, I hope!

They did pretty well last year, but I really hope they win this year.

I believe that two cable networks carry F1 coverage during the season, the first is FoxSports Net and the other Speedvision.

Fox will usually cover the race in the morning, not sure about Speedvision (only recently became available to my area), I think they are live when they cover a race with delayed repeats as well.

Can someone confirm this who has Speedvision?

Yes they did have some DNF's early on, lets hope they completely sort things out before the season starts this time.

Testing, testing, testing, test it until it breaks.

Did you guys see the performance numbers in my other post?

0-60 in 3.3 seconds, man I need to drive one of those things!

roas,

thanks for the info; I would hate to have to miss any of the races (as long as mercedes is doing well)...

greetingz,

I heard them talking about this during the 24 hours of Daytona coverage. Negotiations are still underway and may not be finalized until just before the first race.

They said that last year (or the year before) Speedvision didn't know until the day before the Australian GP that they would get the rights to F1!

I hope they do; they do a great job.

tv

Just goes to show you, Americans still don't have a clue as far as "Global" sophistication of Technolgy is concerned, no offense intended.

Nascar just doesn't cut it in my book, "Ya'll see that there redneck cut me off and put me in the hay bails?"

Some day "We" (Americans) will catch on to the Highest form of MotorSport, hopefully soon.

Meanwhile, Europeans have most of the races hosted in the there back yard.
