    Humans make judgements based on appearances, it's in our Lizard brain. Lewis Hamilton isn't clueless, nor does he think of himself that way. But when he comes along looking like this, what does any normal person immediately think?

    Totally agree Ian, and they're probably pilots as well :p

    To be fair, he wouldn't look any more ridiculous if he was wearing 99% of the crap Ferrari produce...

    I just watched Harry's 296 review, very good looking car but on some of the interior shots of him driving I couldn't quite work out what make it was? How many logos could you see in one shot - 7?? Ridiculous..

    That's a given and I'm a little surprised Ian didn't bring that to the table as well.

    If shields are only allowed to be displayed on a genuine Ferrari race car I hope none of those proper enthusiasts have a hat, shirt, etc. with the shield on it.

    Unless of course they are confused and think a hat is actually a racing car.

    Shields are for sale. Ferrari SpA would let you glue a chicken to the bonnet if they could licence it. You want to know how anything works? Follow the money.

    I'm all for originality, but these cars look better with shields IMHO... Just doesn't look right to me without them.

    Dunno why this topic gets so much airtime, it's just a sticker...

    The true w*anker is the one who wears Ferrari branded clothing. Even a cap is pushing it. I prefer Big W attire when I'm driving mine - Target at a stretch.

    Well no it's not.
    Some,as I understand,have an indent in the guard for a metal badge..
    Most others are actual metal badges as well.

    Nah I mean the ones that get most of the criticism are stickers... Everybody knows how cool the proper metal badges on recessed fenders are! (Ok well they don't, but I like them.. Expensive to spec, but if I were buying a new car I'd certainly be after them)

    At least most people can (largely?) agree that driving in K-Mart level clothing is mandatory. Most F car drivers I've seen are total slobs.

    The 'anti' badge folk don't GAF what the thing is made of particularly if it's out of some of Hambones castoff clothing,it's still historically incorrect......but if you're happy to be looked at as a latte' sipping 'look at me' type then go your hardest! :D

    Well the tyres on my car are historically incorrect too, but I understand your point.

    yeah I get the bare foot thing. The pedals on these cars are just too close together and there's not enough room on the dead pedal.

    Maybe I'm just a caveman, I dunno.
