The car looks pretty from the side without the aero clutter:

Not so good from the front IMO, with wings that are out of proportion to the shape of the car:

Looks tail happy.
Here's hoping! :D
Remember how funny the cars looked when they narrowed the track? We got used to it.

But...will we have time to? If they persist with all these changes, we'll have all turned off!

From the side at least they look sleeker without all those wings and fins all over the place...

I like the clean, sleek look of the car itself, but the wings are just wrong for it.

Agreed. I like that part. And the slicks. And it may produce easier overtaking

I see lots of cut tires and busted front wings, but I'm glad the doohickeys are gone.

decent photography helped it a lot. Not too bad.
But do the mirrors work? :gomer:
Looks like Pinnochio with a 'stache.

I think the compact rear wing will take the longest for me to get used to.

You put spoilers of that proportion on the front and back of a Ferrari road car, and then ask Pininfarina if customers will get used to it.

We've seen worse, but we've seen a lot better as well. Losing the barge boards and towers is nice.

I don't think I'll ever get used to the raised, anteater nose... what an ugly, ugly waste of carbon fibre!
That car better have a sparkling personality, or hope for more night races. :shakehead
What's up with teeny-tiny sidepods? No es bueno.

Yeah, and that front wing looks more like a sickle bar mower than something on a race car.

They've been teeny-tiny for years now, you just couldn't see it for all the widgets sticking off them.

This car design won't last.........not enough room for the new Asian and Middle Eastern Sponsors to put logos. On the other hand it does look narrow enough to navigate the shittiest street "circuit" imaginable.
Well after I posted the above I saw this "http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7788830.stm" Can the Delhi GP be far away?:yuck:

I'd like to see the mirrors all the way forward on the nose. Like Jap cars. :p

Yah, the narrower wing is an improvement.

I used to drive a '63 Alfa Giulietta Spider with that set-up (driver's side only). It was great! No blindspot.
Fugly. Really, really appalling.
