I figured this would be pretty cool to show off the new cars with.

There's a ton of cool photos out there so now we can have a good collection of them.

Did they have a wheel lock up competition in jerez? Looks like someone is finally giving hamilton a run for his money on it

The lockup in the STR7 looks pretty insane. It looks as if he just stood on the pedal through the entire braking zone and never let off to produce that much smoke.

I guess they are still figuring out the brake balance.

In testing, tyre supply is not as limited, and really doesn't matter much anyway, since it's not competition. The drivers will be a bit less reluctant to find that grip limit under braking.

I know it's for safety ,which I respect highly, but the stepped noses just look....goofy.
