The cars have started to be revealed!

Ferrari

Force India

And the gorgeous McLaren MP4-27

I can't wait for the season to start!

Anyone going to the race in Austin in November? I'll be there for sure.

You forgot Caterham, who revealed first. Ferrari was interesting in that they got snowed-out on their own test track. The stepped noses are ewwww...

IMO contemporary F1 cars are interesting but no longer beautiful. Interesting as in: "why did they hang this piece here; why is that hump there; why is the wing shaped like that; I wonder where that duct goes to" . . . etc.

I'm with you and I'm hoping their looks will grow on me.

Abu Dhabi............Schumacher..............

I don't really like the Platypus nose either. Then again, most people I talk to think my "spending cap, dramatically reduced tech regs" idea is stupid.

Form follows function..........

If one's favorite team wins or if the racing is season-long tight, the cars will look "good enough".

But it's always interesting to see everyone's "take" on the rule set.
