The New F1 Ferrari car
BenB - 12/1/09 at 10:37 AM

I know the aero reasons for it (ie they had to due to the rules) but yuck!!!





Looks all out of proportion....

I was literally just about to post this! I really hat the rear wing. The front on the other hand is great except for the length of the nose!

Apart from the stupid rear wing, I think the new cars look great. All the little flicks and bits of aerodynamic tweakery were starting to look rubbish (especially the Honda Dumbo ears!), whereas this year's cars look like they're supposed to be slippery.....

yeah thats ugly alright

looks like the engine compartments melted

"Have you seen the prototype for 2017 yet?? "

That is one of the prettiest f1 cars ever made - is that the Chris Amon car? or maybe mike Parkes - god what an anorak I am!!!

But how wonderful to see slicks back on an F1 car again!


David Jenkins - 12/1/09 at 02:22 PM

I'd love to see F1 run with cars like that once more...
...where you can see the effort that the driver has to put into the race.

god...that rear wing lets it down! glad to see the front wings been allowed back down low again...
nice tyres too!!


A1 - 12/1/09 at 05:21 PM

if not, its the one on the track, kinda straight on...

I can see a lot of these front wings getting knocked off in first corner incidents.

With so little downforce at the back are'nt the cars going to be very oversteery ? ... maybe thats a good thing.

Looks a bit better than the test mules BMW were running during a couple of weeks ago. Almost as bad as the walrus nose


omega 24 v6 - 12/1/09 at 10:55 PM

Well I think it looks not to bad myself.
My only reservation is whether they will be able to win the championship by their own means and without the help of stewards and the FIA.

Hmmm, I'll be more interested when they bring back turbos, proper gearboxes and crossplys

Well the wing looks higher, so that should help it get smooth air, therefore ought to work better, even though the total area is smaller.

Ugly though isn't it?


dnmalc - 13/1/09 at 04:45 AM

Oh so ugly!! but then i suppose it has been build with the assistance of max and co.

Ps where do you put the whip?

Next thing, you'll be asking for round steering wheels, outboard front shocks and dial gauges in the cockpit
