that is without question the homeliest POS to ever leave the Maranello factory.

Which is more important (to the teams)...what it looks like, or how it works?

We're talking about Italian engineers, here, dude.

Okay, I took it for granted the Ferrari engineers were Italian. My bad.

Wow...that is definitely not pretty...not as fugly as the Lotus/Caterham/Whatever that was, but nowhere close to the beauty of the McLaren either...

The McLaren was not using this year's nose or wing assembly at that unveiling. What was on the McLaren does not meet the 2012 spec and won't be on the car when it races.

Is there a plastic surgeon in the house?

I'm reminded of a movie quote here:

"If you think you hate it now honey, wait 'til you drive it".

it's a 2012 front and nose and yes it's legal

[Methanolandbrats]

So Mac lowered the postion of the dribver? They had to because the whole bumpy nose came about becauset the FIA wanted to avoid a t-bone sandusky after some tool tried to impale somebody at Imola last year. Hence the drooped nose.

[trauma1]

they had a low nose last year, didn't take much more to make it 2012 legal, but they are well under the height limit

Wow. Not a Ferrari fan, but I could never deny that their cars looked good.

Now I can. :laugh:

[Michaelhatesfans]

Looking at this year's fleet of cars I can only imagine that Minichamps must be demanding a revision of the licensing fees.

oh, I assumed they were Italian as well, but "italian engineer" is about on par with "french war hero" :gomer:

Thats missing a 32" plasma screen mounted to front wing so driver can watch American Idol while driving, a playmate cooler strapped to the sidepod with some cold beers, and a calvin sticker pissing on another teams logo.

4 of the ugliest F1 cars ever!

Looks like McLaren wins 'em all...or is totally screwed!

Have we seen the Mercedes yet?

It is interesting to look at the bump on the cars we have seen and the difference between them. Red Bull and Lotus are very sleek, Williams and the Sauber are quite pronounced.

[mapguy]

Yup...

Red Bull and Lotus are very sleek

Have you seen the McLaren?

Saying that the Red Bull and Lotus are sleek is like saying JLo has a skinny ass...
