Following our photo gallery of the helmets of the Formula 1 drivers, here is our second gallery showing you the 2011 F1 cars, just 10 days before the start of the first practice session in Australia for the opening round of the new season.

The photos were taken at Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona during the fourth and last pre-season test session held last week.

For this season, all F1 cars are shod on new Pirelli tires and are visually a bit different than last year because of the ban of F-ducts on top of the engine covers

Because of the return of the KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), the minimum weight of the car has been raised to 640 kilos.
