the guys that make the wheels were unhappy there branding got covered. That';s the reason they paint and brand them.. look butt ugly though

Hehe, i love all this ferrari fan and non ferrari fan thing here!

And of course the car is ugly lol. They have to make it ugly so McLaren dont get info yet before the 1st race.

And you really think that at their job they really give a damn about beauty? Hell if they cared about that they would have repalced Jean Todt years ago. We can only thank god BMW didnt look like that when they put it in LFS, else we be skining still

Sry for going somewhere silly, just couldnt refuse

Quote from ATHome :

Form follows function. End of discussion.
I'm sure they know what will make the car go fast, so they'll do it.

Given the current formula. So let's blame the FIA for producing ugly F1 cars.

On the positive side, at least they've ditched that stupid idea about the split rear wing.

Speaking seriously...Alice is the name of our ADSL by Telecom.

Think Beano was referring to this

Quote from srdsprinter :

That could be the Ugliest Ferrari F1 car i've ever seen

To me it's beautiful. [etals:]

According to Ferrari's press release for the reveal of their 2008 car, the standard ECU that all teams must use is made by MES (McLaren Electronic Systems).
Call the lawyers quick.

The McLaren is supposed to be released today. I went on their website and watched the countdown from 4mins remaining..



...i was expecting an explosion, streamers and party hats with the mclaren 2008 reviled. Guess i was wrong!

Does anyone know roughly it should be released?


Hehe, PS, Mclaren is a typo on Firefox. It shows a squiggly line under it. When i correct it to Ferrari, its fine!!!

I think it looks good.

and Kimi agrees

Here we have the 2008 Mclaren! I got early spy shots texted to me by a Mclaren employee, they really love their texts.

I guess they run out of chrome

I did this back in September

hey! it gets more red every single year...

2007 vs 2008 compare:



2008:

















And something else...

That red sh*t always looked ugly, it keeps winning the "ugliest f1 car" prize.
But still there's a hope..This would be more accurate.


By the way, every one knows fia is ferrari's servant i guess ferrari will win the title again.Fia will find something else to punish mclaren in case ferrari isn't just fast enough to win on the track.

I hate ferrari i hate fia, but i'm a mclaren fan so can't stop watching f1.

Your post has bitter after taste

Oh i can't wait to see the McLaren.... NOT... it's going to look the same minus a few different twirly bits


bring on 2009!

interesting front wing

The top shot is just HOTTTTT.

especially the area near the barge board.

Well I don't know what the hell Mclaren have made this year, but judging by the pictures we have it is so huge that you can't get it all in one shot.

and here are Ferrari stating the obvious...

Next on our list is the Toyota launch on the 10th, apparently the team boss has been given till 2010 to sort the team out, so hopefully this years car will be better than average...or even average would do.

I actually like the look of that, way more so than the Ferrari. Note the detailing ahead of the sidepods - and that bit that goes right through to ahead of the front suspension. And there's a sort of spoon outside the sidepods that scoops air in and there's a hollow bit around them. Very pretty if you ask me.

F1 cars don't look aggressive enough anymore. They don't look like they will tear your face off! They actually might if you drive one.. but I am not ever gonna do that!

I reckon as part of the regulations a panel of judges should determine if the car looks aggressive enough.

Nice one Axus, Autosport has a habit of not putting the good pictures on their site until later in the week so they can use them for their mag. I agree, I think the Mclaren looks better, but I always think that Ferrari should make good looking cars, and Mclaren should make cars that look like they will do the job and go fast. I guess they swapped this year.

Well, you've got a keener eye than me, i can barely tell the difference from last years car. The only thing i noticed is, it looks like Heikki forgot to take the clothes hanger out of his racing suit before he put it on.

"The car includes an all-new carbon fibre gearbox."

Is that stolen from ferrari too??
hmm nope, must be stolen from arrows...call FIA!!! Punish them, quick!!
