    Klien was a test driver, just like Wurz last year. We are talking about an active Formula 1 RACER that is doing the fendered racing thing.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    sometimes test drivers can get an unexpected ride, so I would count them as active F1 drivers.

    First glimpse of the R15: Sport Auto Moto Rally - SportAuto 07/2009

    It looks very low and has Dome like gills: I love it. Dr Ulrich, it seems, did not lie when he said the car would be close to revolutionarey.

    Wicked find Wouter - I can't wait until tomorrow when the full magazine is released and they show the front.

    Looks wild eh? Those gills you mention look futuristic or last year F1istic.

    That is very, very low.
    The sidepods seem similar to the ones on the WR-Zytek

    Interesting. Didn't expect that much of a change in appearance. Hard to speak about the technical aspects just judging from the low-res photos. I'll leave that til' later or hold it up to the experts.

    All are going to the F1 style vacuum-formed cowling look aft of the radiator inlets.

    Very cool.

    Well Dr Ulrich explained in Essen that the step R10 -> R15 would be significantly bigger than R8 -> R10.
