    Think it's just the shadowing of the emblem to make it look 3 dimensional.

    Nope, it is actually stuck into the car and is ever so slightly 3D. I have a pic of them putting one on somewhere. Lemme find it

    That's not enough "drag" to be a factor, the telemetry antennas make far more.

    Nice detail, I think!

    I'm pretty sure it's a proper emblem. It will cause such minimal drag however, it will not be noticeable.

    Newey wouldn't allow it on "his" cars...

    So true - and given that the total drag of an F1 car is HUGE I doubt its even "noise".

    Agree it looks great... but I think it should be painted like on the W125 cars :)
