Perhaps the aerodynamic advantage relies on it getting plugged....

Missed opportunity to put he American flag on the shark fin.

Williams has never had a problem in the livery department. The only time in recent memory where they didn’t look good were the sorta plain RBS cars, but even they were tolerable. I never quite figured out why the Winfield car dies so quickly.

It’d be like an exchange program. Bring something there that creates conversation, and bring something back in 3 years that will do the same thing here.

I disagree and think it’s a very underdeveloped car. The biggest clue is that they didn’t put in any effort to find a more elegant solution for the suspension geometry. They just ran it out straight until the upper control arms were accommodated, then dove for the pavement for their big finish - which looks like they…

Looks like Owen Wilson.

Right. Joylon Palmer. The guy who spun his car by trying to brake on the painted lines at Monaco. And Nico Hulkenberg, the World Champion in waiting.

Acura more commonly competes with Infiniti. They both think they compete with Audi, BMW, etc, but I think there is too much to be desired about Japanese luxury that it really isn’t a fair comparison.

Really Stef? You really think this car is good enough to be anything more than last place? Unless this hunk of junk turns out to have some kind of millennium falcon quality, I think it’s a pretty safe bet that they will be sponsorless again next year, if they even make it that far.

Infiniti dealers in Canada are still peddling Vettel/Kvyat hats and tee shirts. Come to think of it, they still had red bull mugs too.

Nah, the nose tip can’t be above a certain height. Not sure which article it is, but somewhere there’s a rule that means every team has to have a “dick nose.”

You know, I consider myself a pretty big F1 fan, but I can’t figure out who the fuck those two drivers are. I see them as such a back marker squad that I can’t be bothered to care 😕.

I counter your statement by pointing out that the most successful cars are also the prettiest in many cases. If it looks good, it usually is. This sauber is definitely the opposite of that.

Yes. It is impossible for all of the reasons you said. The regs are too restrictive and it’s too costly to be creative within the microns of allowance that are given. There is an ever-present need for cost containment, and sadly, this will probably push the series closer than ever before towards a universal…

Looks good. Livery accents the curve of the side pods.

I guess it’s subjective. That livery is one of the shittiest I’ve ever seen on any F1 car, not even mentioning that the car is obviously going to be another pig. To see it done right, look at Williams from the early to mid 90s.

Yeah, but......this sauber looks fucking terrible.

F1 is a great series - my favourite, in fact. It appeals to a certain kind of enthusiast, and some people just don’t get it. However, I think it’s out-of-touch to expect that everyone will just jump on board because the series is supposed to ooze awesomeness. F1 is far, far from perfect and could really benefit from…

Killjoy.

Also check out the one where he stuffs his car into the Armco at a demonstration event while doing donuts. Super slick!
