    Very nice, but I am hating the return of the shark fins. Bleh.

    I like the looks of that Renault. Very nice. Who ever did the graphic design of this car did an awesome job.

    I wish the cars didn't have the broken nose look in the long slope from the cockpit to the wings. Still more stupid regulations spoiling the looks.

    No, the front wings are disproportionate to the rest of the car.

    Holy *****, so much of the car is just front wing!

    Exactly how I feel: front wing and nose are too large and too long for my taste. And they will put a lot of shards on track each time they will be hit, which will be often due to their size.

    +1 that will create some interesting situations with respect to damage. Lets hope driving is clean to avoid silly delays lol :)

    If that Renault goes as fast as it looks we might be in for a nice surprise.Agree those front wings look a bit fragile,coupled with those wider tyres expect a lot of tyres getting cut up and wings destroyed.

    They desperately need the regs to demand a simple front wing comprised of a maximum of three pieces.

    These have just become monstrosities that don't improve racing AND have zero to do with road car relevance.

    It's a van! Wonder what kind of hydraulic suspensions trickery is hiding under the bulge or why such extreme geometries on the arms anyway?

    2009 called and wants its dorsal fins back. They were ugly then and guess what, they are still ugly.

    The Force India nose is worth some time. Very clever and effective.

    Force India looks = FAIL!

    They made the car uglier than before, which is hard to do.

    +1 the front wing elements are absurd, the time and money spent to develop them is a total waste.

    I hope all these teams have looked at Mirabeau hairpin. It's not gotten any wider...How the **** are they going to get their cars going round it when they're all this long!

    Ferrari has a SWB car...but it's still 6cm longer than last years. They've also got a prototype long wheel base in the works...

    :eek:
