What an oddity. Could you imagine those stilts on today's cars - good old Charlie Whiting would have a coronary!

I like this

1995 dud Ferrari


then in 1996 check it





talk about stealing data

[darwin dali]

I didn't hear FB complain about it - it's what's going on in the paddock: imitation is the most sincere form of flattery

[bud]

Imitation, yeah when you steal the design team which is the right term mimicking or reproducing?

still alot of Benetton ideas on that Ferrari.... hey Max

Title winning Benetton 1994:



Dud McLaren 1994:



Title winning Benetton 1995:



Still dud McLaren 1995:



Hey, still alot of Benetton ideas on that McLaren...hey Max

[bud]

thats what you would class as mimicking Darwin, McLaren didnt have the advantage of having Benetton employees bringing data along with them DD

[darwin dali]

No, they 'stole' it without paying people for their knowledge

[bud]

Mimicking not stole, just as every other team began with the raised nose cone in the seasons after Tyrell and Benetton started the trend.
