thats gorgeous!! yes i am 1 of those people that think f1 cars are good looking

i have always wanted to get my hands on some f1 tyres to turn into a coffee table for the house

I've had my hands on some tyres from a f3 (Evesham car) after it shredded on the last lap and I happened to be in the owners box. But i hold no hopes for an f1 tyre unless I win the lottery first :lol:

Is it me or does it look identical to last year car on my phone?

 

[singlespeed]

It would probably make a difficult 'Spot the difference' competition although in reality, theres probably thousands of differences.

They're starting to look more and more like spacecrafts.

It's only a matter of time until F1 is going to look like this:

 

[maggi200]

Haha anyone looked at this front wing and compared it to the caterham front wing? :lol: Oh dear caterham looks to be from a different sport!

 

[pritchp]

the front wing on the mclaren is exactly the same as last years at the moment, they dont put the new wing on just yet due to not wanting to be copied.

I'll just leave this here

Lets you compare the MP4-26 and MP4-27. It's a damn site better looking than Caterham's interpretation of the rules

 

[manofhow]

it certaily more chunky this year

Why does the mclaren not look as ugly as the rest of the cars that have been released so far!?
They all have this square nose for performance reasons.

Have mclaren got it wrong again? I hope not!!
