Jérôme d'Ambrosio

Jérôme d'Ambrosio is a 25 year old from Belgium. He has raced in cars since 2003, his notable finished have been a third place in the 2005 Formula Renault 2.0 Italia Winter Series, a second place in the 2008 to 2009 GP2 Asia series and has won both the 2003 Formula Renault 1.6 Belgium series and the 2007 International Formula Master series. He will be racing under the number 25 for Virgin Racing in the 2011 F1 season. He has had some F1 experience after being Virgin's third driver in 2010 and doing quite a few friday sessions for the team. I think that Jérôme will struggle a bit in the first few races, but I also think he will come good towards the end of the season. I also think he will do a much better job than Di Grassi did last year.

Pre Season Features...

Right, sorry for the delay on a post. We have 26 days till the season starts and I have an idea of how we could past the time. When we get to 24 days away from the start I will start doing driver posts. One a day for every driver entering the 2011 championship. If you have any ideas of features I can do just comment below and I will do them if I like them.

HRT's F111

Images:

Aerodynamics:

Well it looks the same except with a new front wing and shark fin but i don't expect to see just those changes by Bahrain as Colin Kolles has promised us.

Livery:

Amazing.... It is one of the best looking liveries I've seen this year. It just looks so much like F1 due to the bright colours and checkered flag. Even the ads for sponsers look good.

My Prediction:

Unlike the livery I think the car will be the slowest on the grid. They had the slowest one last year and I can't really see much changing I'm afraid as the other new teams have shown some real positive changes the only thing positive HRT have really done is get a great livery.

Interesting Features:

The ads on the livery seem quite interesting..  I wonder how long they will stay there.

Force India's VJM04

Images:

Aerodynamics:

Well the first thing you notice is the roll loop is like the 2011 Lotus and 2010 Mercedes. Then when looking closer you can see a very intricate front wing and under cut side pods. Also the turning vanes look weird as they have a box at the bottom of them.

Livery:

I absolutely love this livery, it has the same colours as last year but the design is much better there are sections where the colours are pixelated which makes it look very fast indeed.

My Prediction:

I reckon this car will be in the same position as Reno where last year and where I predicted team lotus would be. Constantly scoring points and occasional podiums.

Interesting Features:

Well the so called banned roll loop is interesting as there supposed to be illegal. 

Virgin's MVR-02

Images:

Aerodynamics:
The MVR-02 has the lowest nose of the 2011 cars and a very complex front wing. This car has very different front and back ends from last years car but the middle seems to be similar. It looks like a good car very pointy and sharp.

Livery:
The livery look a lot better than last year, I love the white nose and the white lines down the car. It's not the best design but very good none the less.

My prediction:
I reckon the MVR-02 will be the just at the tail end of the mid field teams and scoring some points.

Interesting Features:
The low nose is very interesting as all the other cars have much higher nose's, have Virgin found something the others haven't.
