Yes, clearly an F1 car should look the way it looked for all of 2 years, and nothing like all the other crazy designs they've looked like over the last 60 odd years.

I'm with Bob here. What makes the alien spaceships 2006-08 the quintessential F1 look, over any of the other design eras? Back on topic: A full mirror assembly could seriously screw someone up at F1 speeds.

Do we really need a new thread for every stupid thing F1 related? Like this one or who keeps the yellow helmet at Mercedes next year. Come on guys... and that video with montoya losing his mirror is on YouTube for ages.

It passes the time between races , does no harm aslong as people arent bickering and you would be suprised at the amount of internet users that dont seem to have watched f1 durng the 90s who might appraciate how different he sport was back then.

certainly alot more entertaining moments with the drivers who unlike these days werent pr drones

I've never thought I'd write that I somehow miss JPM and similar characters in the contemporary sterile environment.

Alonso on his radio asap: "Juan Pablo has gone crazy! We need to red flag the race before someone gets killed!"
"There is a credit card with the Ferrari logo, issued by Santander, which gives the scuderia a % of purchases made with the card...

I would guess that such a serious amount of money would allow them to ignore the constant complains of a car that was nowhere near as bad as their #1 driver tried to sell throughout the season.

Heck, a car on which Massa finishes in the podium or has to lift so that his teammate finishes ahead (As we saw often in the final races of the year) is, by no means, a "bad" car."
