well Ferrari and Mclaren are the two teams who produce the style cars, so if you think thats ugly wait and till you see what the rest come up with.

I still think these changes are the biggest mistakes made yet, last years cars were beautiful in their design, the races were closer than they have been for a long time and we got a thriller of a season from it. Next year its going to be a lot differant and I can bet not in a good way.

Onboard from Massa today, I really hope helmet cameras start to take the place of the T-cam. It gives a much better sense of speed and the whole thing makes you want to move your head with the driver. :D

The top-down profile reminds me of 1992/93 cars.

I think this could be a very interesting year.  Not nail biting, screaming my head off, and jumping up and down; but just interesting. :-?

That's a great helmet cam, far better than the idiotic one they stuck on DC in Brazil. :)

'Interesting' car...if it wasn't for the 12-storey tall rear wing, it'd look very nice ;D

That's a fantastic helmet cam video Craig, High quality looks fantastic! And that sound...amazing...  8-) :D
