2010 Car Launch thread

i quite like the mclaren shape, am i the only person who doesn't mind shark fins? but the spittler looks weird, like it shouldn't be there. it's like when you can see the supports to a movie scene. sick to death of that livery though. i thought they might have changed it, never mind.

This sort of shark fins are looking bad. The front of the car is sexy.

The car looks very sharp, something which is less the case than the Ferrari. I think this will be the year of the high front wings. If they are all like the Ferrari or the McLaren, I must say that I look forward to all the other cars.

after mclaren's launch,i think that some teams took RB5 as reference for their cars...

Interpretation of the rules is the cornerstone of F1 design, nothing new in that.

Sour grapes from Ferarri

They should have banned the bloody things for this year not 2011, oh well.

Exactly.

Ferrari and the others, Mclaren included recieved clarification last year. Everyone expected the DDD this year to be extreme, so what grounds will Ferrari base their opinions on?

Another nice car by Mclaren ..............
It's interesting to see that the influence of Adrian Newey was greater than that of the Champion ship wining car ...............

For me they seem to be going back to the Williams looking front nose of 1995 - 1998

Would have been lovely like this...

Heres my latest fanboy Mclaren bit coming out (oh how so fickle?) but I like the sharkfin :p

Nice to see Jenson go back to his old helmet design at least.

True Nuno, that does look a bit better

The McLaren´s sharkfin looks soooooooooo Ferrari 312B2 :P





And now I realized we dont need narrower front tires... We need bigger rear tires!

I'm really quite liking the Macca, they've done a good job of cleaning up the aero and the colourscheme to suit it. A massive improvement - cosmetically, at least - on last year's fugly one.
And great to see Jenson's helmet back to his old colours, it contrasts nicely with Lewis's helmet and compliments the car's livery beautifully.

The Macca has easily enough bright red on it not to be confused with the Mercedes TBH.

Seriously, WTF are they on about? I thought a car had to at least do some pre-season testing before concerns could be raised about it. FFS.
