There are two major things wrong with this pic.
1. It's last year's model car.
2. It's a Ferrari.
Go McLaren!
I just hope their poor form in pre-season testing is due to them sandbagging. I
mean, the fastest team on track in the last few days of testing (Brawn GP) uses
the same engine as McLaren, so it's obviously not a power issue.

is that a bar code on the spoiler?

Yeah last season's car, but last seasons' cars look much nicer than the 2009
ones.
I'm over McLaren. I always supported them in the past but I just don't like
Lewis. It doesn't appear they're sandbagging, Heikki was SLOWEST out of all
drivers in the most recent test sessions, and Lewis not much better than
that.
Go BrawnGP I reckon, would be great to see the old Honda squad kick some ass.
Otherwise I'm hoping good things for Red Bull Racing, and obviously Mark Webber
in particular.

the old Addison grand prix here was cool, one of my pilot friends company would
have a buncha people in their hanger, front row seats on the fastest part of the
track down one runway. damn that was fun.

Educate the ignorant, please.
I'm not a race fan, but I'm curious if anyone knows the purpose of the white
line/insert thing in the tire grooves?

I belive the barcode reads 'M A R L B O R O'

The grooves have been removed for this season, with a return to racing slicks
in F1.
For the 2008, and previous seasons, the team has had a selection of 2 types of
tires on race day, with the exception of a wet race it was mandatory to use BOTH
sets. They can run them in any order, and as many sets as they like, but they
have to use at least 1 set of each. They are hard & soft compound.
The white line signifies that it is the soft compound tyre, for ease of
spectator recognition.
