The Blown Diffuser which was primarily the Red Bull's winning edge last year has been banned making all the cars evenly matched plus Mercedes Benz found a way incorporate a movable front wing that sync with the rear wing when they open up.

Great photos. Stayed up all night st. Patty's day and watched it on live broadcast. Nice to have racing every Sunday or so again... missed it over the winter!

Was at Montreal race couple f years ago. Would love to attend again this year but we shall see.

Thanks again for sharing the photos.

As an aside, how do you guys feel about the hyper-raised nose and narrow rear wing that some of the teams have adopted? I can't quite get used to it... makes the whole car look narrow and a little freaky to me. :)
