the nose is hideous, but a car doesnt have to be pretty to be fast i suppose, i just hope they step closer to the midfield pack if not mix it with them

Damn, that is ugly... eek

Gascoyne must have had a bad hangover when he drew up that thing. Got a feeling we're gonna see more ugly cars this year, according to reports.

Edit - After waking up to pictures of this duckbill platypus of a car, I had to check as to "why?"....this might provide some insight:

Shame really - I know it's superficial but these cars need to look like the fastest cars in today's road racing, otherwise it won't interest me half so much. If they all turn out to be ugly this year it definitly will dimish the "feel" of the sport.

The changes in the rules this year's going to give us some shining examples for a "Ugliest Cars in F1 History" thread later on, I imagine. Some preliminary sketches I've seen of this year's Fez have made me cringe.

It's hard to cheer for an ugly car.

biggrin
