That being said, I'd expect the newcomers' cars to look like either the RB5 or the Brawn BGP01, as they are the most successful this year.

I just wish there's more technical freedom like the turbo ages...well...then the well funded teams will be well ahead of other smaller teams....I guess FIA is just trying to test the balance of technical development and also provide a fair playfield for all teams...

The only difference (or the teams can exploit are the two ends of the front wing, the "shape" of the nose cone, mirror location, shape of sidepod without attachments, floor plate, and the horizontal plates of the rear wings, and diffusor)....actually that's quite a lot....but all the teams are getting to look more similar compare to 2007-2008 when there's more technical freedom of add-on wings and so.....
