Do you really believe that a team of McLarens magnitude would copy an idea from a rubbish team that never doen anything. The new MP4-18 has been designed from hours and hours of work in the wind tunnel and Adrian Newey's years of experience. Come on, get real

I'm sure Chris doesn't, I think he was joking! Just like I was when I found the true inspiration behind the MP4/18.



They even copied the colour scheme :|

The simtek car was not a bad car, just over weight and under developed.

The mclaren does look like the simtek nose have to admit but a bit thinner and not as low.

Maybe the old designs were the best :).

i wounder how fast the 1989 mclaren would go with the current engines and tyres, would be very interesting do u not think

I opened this thread expecting to discover something shocking! But yet again was I greeted with a Alex making a good pun and Vader capitalising on an open post. Hehe.

Well the Simtek was shocking!
