Well, looks like the "Ugliest Paint Job in F1" title is locked up for 2003...

Of course, this is what you get when you let the French do anything...

Hey, you won't get them mixed up at a distance with any other F1 machines.

As far as F1 goes, it is ugly. Compared to some cars in CART (say, the Lilly-Lola) it is beautiful.

Hey, the Sprint PCS IRL car was better than both of them.

Maybe so, but I heard that they kept losing the pit to driver communication with a "Network is busy, please try later."

Obligatory CART-based aesthetic comment:

Yet another reason why CART should not run hand-me-down F1 designs.

Other than that, I do find it very interesting that it looks like Renault is moving the splitter forward.

Got any more "glamor" shots that show better detail in that area?
