Today, the first day of the off season and the start of the 2009 preparations, BMW shocked the F1 paddock and fans with a radical looking car. This 09 hybrid is intended to analyse the requirements for the new regulations, and sports plenty of new concepts. BMW Sauber was the only team to use such an advanced concept, while the other teams opted for testing with a slightly modified 2008 car.

The looks may be a bit hurting for some, but remind that is hybrid is still far from being the F1.09, which presumabily will have a lower nose cone, and a more elaborated front wing, especially the endplates, and bigger main plane, in order to carry more ballast in the front.
