Merc is testing it
....especially the side profile....cant they make that slant less extreme and more parallel with the monocoque lines?
Agreed. If they could sort that bit out and make the ring itself more streamlined, then maybe it would look somewhat better...
looks like an umbrella stand lol.ClarkBT11 wrote: ↑02 Aug 2017, 19:13https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/GDOzRsy.jpg
Because the black contrast better with the silver it looks slightly better than on the scarlet Ferrari but still looks just as bad as the coat hanger at the back of the car..
No, I think of Schumacher every time I see a red racing Helmut in a Mercedes.Manoah2u wrote: ↑02 Aug 2017, 22:41looks like an umbrella stand lol.ClarkBT11 wrote: ↑02 Aug 2017, 19:13https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/GDOzRsy.jpg

Am i the only one who gets some odd feelings looking at that Red Helmet in the Merc like that, immediately reminding me of Schumacher's helmet when he was @ Mercedes?
The centre pillar is the FIA trying to protect the drivers head from another Massa incident... They couldn't organise a stag night in a brewery. Your idea would look better though.ESPImperium wrote: ↑02 Aug 2017, 21:04Ive always wondered why the central section isn't taken away for two smaller less obtrusive (but still structurally strong enough) pillars don't come down and join on as part of the wing mirrors mounts?
If it was like this, i think it would get a nod form me as it would be much better looking for me, however still grotesque in the terms of the look of a F1 car.
