Kati 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 It depends which Seb you are talking about (check spelling of all 3.. or is it 4 now? I lost count).Nick looks like a cross between semi-midget lumberjack and an angry gnome...No wonder you love him. well, bourdais loves me but it's not mutual. buemi is a nice guy but he is... ugly. and i dunno loeb, so...I think you meant my sebi? So it's Sebastian. I still Nick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought F1 were going this route, if anything, the cars would've looked more eye-catching, now we have to watch these ridiculous odd cars racing.....

shampion 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 I agree. I don't like the rear spoiler.... but I don't miss all the winglets, elephant ears, twin towers and stuff. I (like D.O.F.) would like to see the larger rear slicks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 not to mention new rules forced it to look like this What I'm trying to say is that there have always been ugly F1 cars. The Maki F102 was spectacularly ugly, but I can't quickly source a piccie of it - maybe tomorrow. Although I think the Ligier flying teapot (that's the blue one, Graham) is the ugliest of the lot. But I suppose that beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I suppose that beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. The difference lies in that, while those ugly F1 cars (yeah, I am still resented over the Ligier Teapot pic) are the result of teams trying to innovate and compete, the new designs are just standarized ways of nerfing cars. Let's say that those were the product of additive ingenuity, while the new ones are the result of substractive standarisation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just saying that there have always been ugly F1 cars. Regardless of the reasons that made them so. Now be good or I'll post another teapot piccie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
