2012 F1 car launches
« on: February 03, 2012, 09:32:11 AM »
Ferrari and Force India unveiled this morning...

Both have what people are referring to as the 'Platypus' front nose, which looks like its going to be a common sight with most of the teams this season, not very attractive though!

Be great if Force India's car could be a little faster this year. They deserve to be playing with the big boys.

The McLaren looks amazing for 2012, well relative to the others anyway! The Ferrari is a disgrace to Italian design history!

looks like theyve got a new steam press at maranello, and the new car accidentally rolled into it .... nose first ! not the prettiest of ferrari f1 cars , other than that, not bad looking.... sadly , the rule makers dictate the design to a large degree . there should be a rule that says the car must be asthetically pleasing before it can go anywhere near a track ! (remember the ferrari 641, the leyton house cg891, the williams fw14b, and the lovely jordan 191 ?) ...... as seb says "now thats what im talking about !" ..... good luck ferrari for 2012 ! ...... we still have our beautiul abarths to look at.

I think bonus points should be awarded for sexy cars . . . . then it might stop monstosities like these being produced.

F1 cars used to be things of beauty, idiotic regulations rule again   >:(

Looks are irrelevant in F1, as long as the design gets the maximum performance within the rules...
Not a lot of the winning cars were pretty in the last years...

McLaren is definitely the best looking car for 2012. We just have to hope that beauty translates into results!  :thumb:
