It's ugly. But it's not ugly in some kind of unprecedented way. When F1 had wings on stalks, that was uglier. I still watched the damn thing without much complaint.

But it is self harm from the powers that be. There's other solutions than the halos that don't compromise on aesthetics and the cars like pretty good other than that. It's frustrating in that sense.

Just noticed something in the Mercedes 2018 pre launch video.



Have Mercedes claimed the 2009 championships as their own?

is it wrong to be glad someone has ruined mclaren’s carefully curated colour scheme unveiling?

Or that the grand unveiling of the multi million pound car has been undone by a ÂŁ2.50 car cover from Halfords? (must be Halfords for the orange car )

yeah the little bit of white/flag is a nice touch but overall though i am glad that the majority of the white is gone from the car.

no subtle nods to a Marlboro cig package, no more Santander name and logos on white backgrounds....just a proper red Ferrari.

Have Mercedes claimed the 2009 championships as their own?
imo legitimate for them to claim the 2009 Brawn-Merc title winner as their own.

Have to say Ferrari have done the right thing by blending the halo into the scarlet livery, it makes it harder to see

I know it's been cross checked and scientifically proven..et al but I just can't get my head around how they can see out through those things. I keep looking at those cars and reflexively askin' that question to myself

About the only positive thing I can say about the cars so far, is that I appreciate the uniform location of the car numbers at the back of the fin.

All the Halo's lool dreadful and I know much thought and evaluation has gone into it by the FIA, but it still looks like 21st engineering with banger racing technology attached.

Ferrari is very nice. Interesting evolution of their design ahead of the sidepods. The little lip on the halo is cool, and so are the aero details on the mirrors. If I am not mistaken they have managed to sneak in a curved T wing down low attached to the fin in the back.

The wheelbase is very clearly longer, and it is tiiiiiiight in the back!
