    The 2011 Pre-Season Schedule (planetf1.com)
    Contrary to the launch sched -- and according to other articles -- McLaren will unveil their new car on the first day of testing, 1 Feb, but won't test it at Valencia. They'll participate in the Valencia test using a 2010 car with a few updates and concentrating on tires, then take the 2011 car to Jerez.

    Are they just posturing or are they really doing something unique? Here's hoping it's the latter.....though now I'm picturing Williams' walrus nose.....

    Marlboro is set to stay as Ferrari’s title sponsor until at least 2014, according to a report on Thursday.

    The German-language Motorsport-Total.com said it learned about the likely contract extension at the team’s recent ‘Wrooom’ media event in the Italian Dolomites.

    An official announcement could be made on January 28, when the famous team launches its 2011 car at its Maranello base.
    Philip Morris brand Marlboro has remained in F1 long after the sport’s total ban on cigarette advertising.

    The team’s so-called ‘barcode’ logo and livery was controversial in 2010, leading to the launch of a new logo for this year, which will be incorporated into the design of the 2011 car’s livery.

    “We see no obstacles to an extension,” the report quotes a spokesman for Philip Morris International as saying.

    Their 2010 livery was controversial but Lotus Renault's 2011 livery may be illegal in Canada -- maybe -- because it apparently looks sort of like a pack of cigarettes.

    "... enough to make a Frenchman weep into his cognac ..."

    The name is Lotus Renault GP but they're doing their best to change the emphasis to Lotus vice Renault.

    All hale the great Bernie.... Rome would have been a spectacular venue for a one off F1 event, a venue that many fans could have enjoyed...but it's really not about that is it?

    Ferrari's 2011 Formula One car will be called the F150 to celebrate this year's 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy.

    "Ferrari is an expression of Italian excellence, talent and creativity," said Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo said.

    "All the men and women who put so much effort and passion into their work at Maranello share the pride and responsibility of representing our country around the world and it is in this spirit that we chose to dedicate this car to an event that is so important for the whole of Italy."

    Ferrari said Italian President Giorgio Napolitano had "expressed his appreciation of the initiative".

    Still views in this one. I esp. like the top view, paused it there for a while. Still amazes me that they can pack so much, incl. full fuel loads again this year (+ KERS?), under so little bodywork.
