Pete Fenelon should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Blimey, that's everything that's wrong with single seaters. Defaced by winglets and bargeboards. UGLY.

And of course it'll be quite out of step with where F1 is next year - so it'll look even more old-fashioned.

The Lola was at least distinctive-looking - it didn't have to be cutting-edge so could afford to look different. This is just identikit early-2000s F1.

But did any of us expect any different after they said it'd be based on the F1-2004?

As an aside I'd love to see that gorgeous DP-01 revived and used somewhere else, because I thought it was one of the best-looking single seaters of recent years. I hold out hopes that the next-generation IRL rules (with slightly more emphasis on street and road circuits) will favour something like DP-01 rather than the rather chunky and ungainly oval-oriented bruisers they have now.

(Mmmm. Judd KVs in DP-01s as a 'British Formula Two'? Never happen, but wouldn't it be fantastic - that'd clear the earwax and wake you up in meetings, unlike F3! )
