I still think the cars look ugly.
I guess that thought may change when it comes to see then racing though.

Paprika? Out of all the spices and herbs to choose from, you choose the one that tastes like dirt and sounds like a 15-year-old girl with pink pigtails wearing a Hello Kitty T-shirt. What about Marjoram? Now there's an oft neglected herb that's downright exciting and masculine. I suppose if you really wanted to go masculine, you'd choose Cumin, but if you're a little light-in-the-loafers you could go with Fennel. Fennel is the guy you work with that has way too many scented candles in his flat.

Perhaps it looks good, but there's no way to know if it's a good or a bad wing until March. Also, it may be a perfect wing in all the CFD models, but if the driver can't get it to work with his style, it's a bad wing. Everyone is worshiping at the altar of the computer these days and forgetting that the driver is where the action begins and ends. Design for the driver, not the computer....but I digress.

Yeah, the Mild Seven blue with the Renault yellow really looked a treat. ING's 3 year contract expires this year so maybe a new title sponsor and colour scheme will be in place for season 2010, then again ING might just continue with Renault for a couple more years to come

To be honest, I'd be surprised if any team runs a widely different colour scheme this year.
Honda, perhaps the most likely to.

It does seem strange that a top team could fail such a basic thing, although it shouldn’t be detrimental in the long run.

So, any ideas about what car will be the ugliest?
That's just about all the pre-season contest they 'll get!
I believe the silver Mclaren will look pretty ugly!
