Not unless the McLaren, Ferrari and the other teams came up with a better car than the RB7 it's still SV who is the favorite.

Formula One | Montezemolo names candidates for Massa's seat

Who would it be?

Button ain't leaving Mclaren. Ever.

Webber will not want to leave Red Bull... the only reason he will leave is if he's removed for poor performance in the 2012 season... and will Ferrari want him then?

Nico Rosberg and Sergio Perez are both excellent choices. Perez deserves a chance at a drive in a top-flight car, personally. Rosberg already has a pretty good one and might not want to move quite yet.

Bring back kimi for fun hehehehe

**Retz** · January 6th, 2012 02:05 PM

most likely it would be either Rosberg or Kubica.

Rules state that the nose can only be a certain height in front, and can only come down to a set height behind the front wheel. Either you use a stepped nose, or use a very narrow slanted nose like McLaren. It is possible McLaren and Red Bull will be among the few teams that have a ***y nose this year. Everyone else likes having the nose as high as possible.

Forget the stepped noses... though Force India's is the best non-McLaren so far... the most important part of the car is at the rear.

Force India has a clean undercut sidepod like McLaren, but their exhaust blows into an auxiliary winglet under the main wing. Ferrari are blowing the exhaust onto the brake ducts. It's likely that their brake ducts will either direct air towards the rear diffuser or act as an extension of the rear diffuser.

The most important part of the car is the car itself front till back not just the rear.

Almost all the teams will be using the stepped nose. McLaren won't be doing it because their car last year had a low nose, anyway.

The only point of interest on the nose cone itself, the bump, is probably going to be used as to "kick" air up away from e driver and into the air box. At least, this is the probable reason Ferrari have made the bump full width instead of smoothing it out like on the Caterham or Force India.

What's more interesting is under the nose, as teams explore how much air they can channel with e extended struts... whereas McLaren uses struts and a turning vane... To channel air to e floor under and around the side pods and ultimately to the rear diffuser.

F1: 2012 Red Bull 'not as ugly as Ferrari' - Marko | News | Motorsport.com

Feb.5 (GMM) Dr Helmut Marko on Sunday gave the F1 world a sneak-preview of Red Bull's title-defending 2012 car.

A day before it debuts at Jerez, the Renault-powered RB8 will be revealed on Monday.

And the launch of Adrian Newey's next creation has become even more eagerly anticipated after rival top teams Ferrari and McLaren unveiled their 2012 machines.

Like the Caterham and Force India, Ferrari's car - the F2012 - has been derided for its 'ugly' nose.

The McLaren, however, has a sleek aerodynamic shape at the front.

Asked about the unattractive Ferrari solution, Red Bull's Marko insisted: "We have something that looks a lot better.

"Our car is not as ugly as the Ferrari, but it's also not like the McLaren, which doesn't have a kink in the nose at all.

"Ours is just a bit smaller and more elegant (than the Ferrari solution)," the Austrian added.

Also yet to be seen is the 2012 Mercedes, with the German marque's Norbert Haug promising: "The most beautiful car will be the one at the front."
