HOLY SH1T3!!!!
Who the hell is designing these cars!? Are they blind?! How can Mclaren see a sensible (and what I would consider a more aerodynamic) solution to it and the rest not? Who cares if the nose reg's mean it has to be lower! Just sweep the rest of the design down smoothly. Don't create an abomination of a Fugly piece of crap! Those designers want sacking! Wond er what the conversation in the boardroom was after the designer had left! |

They are not fast enough to make the images so blurry that you can't see how ugly they are... And seriously, I thought the Lotus was bad, but this is one of the worst F1s I've ever seen! I only thing I quite like is the intake above the head rest.

I know the reg's have to be followed and that the FIA have issued a new reg saying that after a certain point near the front wheel centre line, the body has to drop something like 10cm to avoid the nosecone petruding into the drivers head area in the event of a side impact. But my god! there only seems to Mclaren that seem to have thought of how to do it properly. Its as if the rest of the teams had their cars already made and then the FIA brought the reg' in, forcing them to just come up with this cock of an idea just to make it pass the regulation. |

Here is why they're so ugly....
http://www.formula1.com/news/technical/2012/0/929.html and they plan to make it lower still next year. Hopefully they'll know by then how to do them properly. I have a sneaky suspicion that we will see some re-designed cars mid year in 2012. |

It was the BBC who went to Sky and frogmarched them into Bernie with the offer of the deal we have now. The BBC did it because the alternative was that there was no F1 on the BBC and the BBC terminated their contract early. This situation has very little to do with 'theft' of the rights by Sky, and everything to do with the current situation where the Governement are refusing to increase the licence fee.
We, who pay, have had no say whatever in the price of the licence fee, and whether or not we want our F1 and other sports paid for from it. For example, if you consider that it is a good use of the licence fee to make programmes like Flog It and all all the reality stuff, and then cut the sports covered to almost zero (or the opposite) you have no say - the Government have just dictated that this is what the BBC do. I have never paid a single penny to Murdoch since he took over the Sun in 1969. We knew then he was a nasty piece of work, and nothing that has happened since has done anything to change that. Why people pay money to a company that breaks the Law, invades people's privacy and prints lies about people based solely on hacking their 'phones and e-mails is beyond me. So when discussing this change, please remember that the BBC did it all, and Sky did nothing despite their current advertising that infers they have been the clever ones. Rant over... All those cars with the step-down noses are ugly! The McLaren looks nice, but Gary Anderson seems to infer that it will lose performance if it doesn't have one of these carbuncles on it's front end. We'll see... |

Just look at Massa and Alonso,s faces. They're probably thinking the days when they stroll into a bar full of babes and brag I drive a Ferarri F1 are over.

Thanks for the link, interesting stuff. Kimi looks like a bemused eight-year old who's wandered into the wrong place and doesn't really understand what's going on!! Guess he'll look like an F1 driver once he hits the track,though.

There's a lot of questions going around about that little vent type thing within the step on the nose of the RB8
