No but what I mean is I don't think it looks bad. But again some people may, like yourself, but that is ok.

I stand corrected. I'll grant that it's not the ugliest f1 car I've ever seen, the 'Lobster Claw' still wins that one in my opinion, but I still wouldn't be giving it any beauty awards.

Yeah I suppose looks have alot to do with the marketing side of the sport, however if it's fast (Ok the ugly ones usually aren't)... :P

I'm not liking it at all. Far too many primary colours on there, it looks like someone's just used it as a mixing palette.
