AustinF1 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Rather than start a new thread for each new car that's launched, I thought it would be nice to have one thread where we could see them all, so here's what's out there so far...... Here's the Williams FW36 in testing livery. Man, I don't know why they don;t just go with that livery all the time.

AMRacer89 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I was really expecting a much bigger deviation in the cars, such as 2008 vs. 2009 cars. I don't know how it'll race, but on paper this is about the worst iteration of a racecar since the original NASCAR COT, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinF1 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 OK, so the McLaren looks pretty nice. Now to the other end of the spectrum, imho... Note the unequal-length forks. ScarbsF1 has an explanation: Craig Scarborough @ScarbsF1 31m @somethingawsome both equal would be preferred but illegal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinF1 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ferrari F14T: I like it. Ferrari and McLaren have done the best so far in terms of looks, imho. Looks like Ferrari is trying to channel air around the nose just under the Shell logo rather than simply making the nose skinny. Ah. Just found this. Just what I thought.

AustinF1 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Sauber C33....only pic I can find so far. Word is that the front view is so bad they don't want to subject our eyes to it just yet. Who knows.... It occurs to me that all of the new cars either look good from the side or from the front, but not both...except maybe the McLaren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinF1 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Gotta love the slightly different approaches the engineers took to solve the new rules puzzle. Nick Yep. I love this time of year. It's one of the things that keeps me addicted. that, and the fact that these are just starting points & these cars will evolve all season long, week by week. I really want to attend a winter test some day. I'm very intrigued by what Ferrari and Mercedes did. Seems like maybe they found a subtle way to have their cake and eat it too...getting airflow around and under the nose rather than simply tacking on a piece to adhere to the rules. Even more interesting on the Ferrari imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
