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. |

navarra! bit like running round a kart track for a f1 car though.
edit: talking out of my backside, it was rumoured to be navarra (saw something claiming a renault truck was there) but the paddock surface isn’t like that so its going to be that place they use for their road car stuff, also in spain. bagins with an i. is it wrong to be glad someone has ruined mclaren’s carefully curated colour scheme unveiling?

Why does my mind have an image of Ron Dennis standing just out of shot pointing a wind machine at the transporter....

What's going on with those sidepods? All sorts of aero on there that's not going to work following another car!

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! |
