Nill posted:Definitely has a bit of "French automotive styling" going on... Steve Wonder forums account spotted.   I like how both teams unveiled so far have painted the shark fin black, Dick-nose Caterham style. I was "meh" about the sauber other than its 90s-era williams paint scheme, but this Renault looks great to me.

If i'm getting anything from the new cars its how badly the shark fin is ruining the potential look of them. Someone with more talent than i please try photoshopping them out, and i think you'll agree. If the roll hoop and rear wing were the highest points on the car they'd look a million times more sleekNorns posted:That fin looks loving cool from the side. Yea renault did good.

Actually looks pretty ... interesting. I think I like the look of it? What I don't like is how black and yellow were applied to the car. Holy gently caress, what a horrible pattern. And those driver suits? Are you guys for gently caress serious?

The car would be better with more yellow, otherwise it doesn't look too bad. I like the Sauber as well.

Why can't ferrari whine about something useful and get shark fins banned? Jesus gently caress another year of those awkward things. 2016 cars with 2017 tyres and wings were sexy. 2017 cars are to this point a garbage fire of extra aero parts everywhere.

I'll reverse my opinion on shark fins when a team figures out how to make theirs glow and leave a light trail like Tron.

Is it some kind of optical illusion that the shark fin on the Renault looks like it's sloping upwards? Looks like such an awkward design detail.

Theophany posted:Is it some kind of optical illusion that the shark fin on the Renault looks like it's sloping upwards? Looks like such an awkward design detail. Must be an illusion. The shark fins are usually as high as they can make them and the maximum height of the car is delimited by a flat plane.

The drat thing's front end looks ugly as gently caress and the god awful yellow makes it look even worse. The lumpy thing slopes up towards the weird hump thing above the suspension and then steps down towards it's clit nose ffs.
