Check out page 2 of this PDF in the Lego Press area:
http://www.lego.com/upload/contentTemplating/LEGOAboutUs-PressReleases/otherfiles/2057/upload96B6048F-94EC-4322-98B6-987EC95787A4.pdf
There is a photo of a new F1 mini-figure set. The set depicts two real F1
team members, Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. The set looks to me
to use the same flesh colored ABS used with the Duplo figures.
From the PDF -
"The victory podium with two mini figures featuring Michael Schumacher and
Rubens Barrichello
encapsulates one of the most iconic parts of F1. LEGO mini figures are
arguably one of the most collectable LEGO elements and the immortalisation
of Schumacher and Barrichello as LEGO mini figures is only the second time
real people have been captured."
The classic yellow smiley may become scarce. I think flesh colored
mini-figures are here.
