F1 Fanatic

I still think the post-2009 F1 cars look terrible.

And I think the pre-2009 cars – especially the 2007 and 2008 designs were horrible.

And I fear with the new nose regulations this year they’re going to be worse.

I’m expecting a lot of noses like the MP4-26. When Horner and Brawn were making dire predictions of ugly cars, it was mostly because they didn’t want the regulations since a lowered nose meant less air travelling over the front splitter, which meant less downforce.

@keithcollantine you say the lower noses on the 2012 f1 cars will make them look worse. but don’t you agree the brawn gp was one of the better looking cars on the 2009 grid? that had a very low nose (comparatively)

I like, it looks different after having the last chassis so long but good luck to them.

Seems like they are more modern Pippa Mann was saying last night they are at last putting carbon brakes on them…couldn’t believe they were still using steel!

Will be able to watch this on Sky when I get the new place…woop!

They’re not going to look like that – they’re going to look more like the 2010 Virgin.

Eurgh, that car was horrible.

@keithcollantine oh, yuk! ideally the cars would be 2008-looking without the flick ups and addons, and with the new racier pirelli tyres. good racing and good looking cars!

Here’s some footage of Panther’s car in action, pity about the music, engine sounds good!

@matt90 On the F1 cars? Safety – they don’t want cars having noses higher than the cockpit anti-intrusion panels.

This one looks pretty sharp:
