I think it's a question of both Mercedes have a fantastic design team, their road cars are very pretty ...

There was certain to be at least one ugly duckling amongst them.

Aren't most of Ferrari's sponsors a continuation from previous?
Because to me, it looks worse than a BTCC sticker-fest with logos seemingly plastered on as an afterthought.

Huh?
They still selling the fintail and pagoda SLs in Austin?

That was my impression too. It's like half the factory wanted the front wing and other aero parts to be black, and half wanted them white - so they did both.

The shape is no uglier than any other car (apart from the Mercedes). It's still has a badly proportioned front end, sudden nose drop and something from an adult catalogue taped to the front. What makes this worse is the terrible livery.

Make the wings black. Or make them white. Don't do both.

Aww man. McLaren have accidentally made a Spyker. I hate when I accidentally make a Spyker.

Sorry, not a fan. And that shark fin!

The Ferrari SF70H




Yep. Another shark fin.

these cars would all look awesome with a raised nose

Respectfully disagree. IMO, only raised nose car that ever looked good were the early 90's Tyrrell's.

...and that was more due to how the front wing was mounted.

CNN as a sponsor? That's clearly a fake car

[JeremySmith]

I like the McLaren, the rear end looks vicious 😊

[BSchneiderFan]

I think the fin looks horrible.

[bjohnsonsmith]

The Ferrari's not exceptional and I agree with crmalcolm about the logos/sticker fest. It's like a first attempt at a livery in rFactor.




If they win nothing else this season, McLaren have the Shark fin championship in the bag.

Ferrari has the little wing like the Mercedes has as well.

Mercedes seem to not have which is good. Shame it spoils the Ferrari livery

Yes the McLaren looks like either a Spyker or a TWR Arrows, while Fred looks like he's back in his old ING Renault overalls

[Moneyseeker]

Have the commercial dept's been sat twiddling their thumbs all winter - barely any new sponsors on the cars been launched and lots of blank spaces!

[Akrapovic]

I think that's more of a comment on how expensive it is to advertise on the cars and how little return there is with fewer viewers. No commercial department will solve those problems.
