I think I found my favourite of all launches so far - MERCEDES! The overall shape looks so sleek and well integrated!

Though I must say if in an accident, that front nose hits someones head the driver is a goner for sure. :eek:

My thoughts based purely on aesthetics - which usually is for some reason a decent indicator in F1....

Looks Fast : Ferrari, Mercedes

Looks Improved: Team Lotus

Looks Slow: Sauber

Not Sure: Lotus Renault - I'm really not sure what to make of it as it's so different - could be either genius or a disaster, and I honestly have no idea which...

Notice RB still has the shark fin....or most of it. Is this thing banned or not!?

Apparently not, it just cannot be connected to the rear wing.

That Mercedes Petronas color combination is abysmal. The car itself looks good, but I notice the wingletts right by the side of the side pods are stubs compared to every other car. Also it's pretty clear that some teams implemented some sort of central mechanism to activate the rear wing movement while other teams chose to run the mechanism through the existing side supports.

I think Merc looks great. The colours work for me. It's the Renault Lotus that is making me puke. :vomit:

I wish they would ban the "shark fins" they look fugly and deviate from what an F1 car should look like.

I can't really make it out... It seems like and optical illusion.. The mini shark fin blade and the middle support beam for the wing seem to blend together.

but after that it tappers off drastically and is flat.. then nothing but diffusers..

I'm digging the new Williams, in particular the livery, really old school and I love the old school number on it. Glad to see the ol' AT&T logo still plastered on it.
