I think this is because we are watching "dude with camera trackside" videos, not the TV camera microphone a mile and a half away so they can get that "PIRELLI PIRELLI PIRELLI PIRELLI" trackside sponsor wide shot. (Along with ruining the sound this also ruins the sense of speed, f1 should be nothing but tight panning shots, but bernie would have had to have a smaller pool or something)

The McLaren looks even worse on the track than in the photos. I thought the Force India sharkfin was the lowest it could get when I first seen it, but nah man. This McLaren could possibly be the ugliest Formula 1 car of the modern era. Yes, even worse than mid 90's poo poo teams like the MTV Europe sponsored Pacific or the  Footwork Arrows.

The thing that I find the most unappealing to the eye is that the rear wind sits lower than the shark fin and air box. Also Lewis said following is harder in these cars. So less overtaking which we obviously had far too much of last year.

What I find incredulous is that the shape of an oil tank and it's effect on oil scavenging is something so basic - literally this is something you think about when you're track prepping a production car w/r/t baffling it and poo poo. How does a f1 team not run fluid dynamic models on that?

Last red flag: Stroll had a big spin with all that aero metal work attached, they assumed he was going to bin it into the wall and hit the button but he saved it.

Dudley posted:I feel bad for this, but MTV sponsored Simtek. I don't think that was too bad an idea. After all, Ferrari lowered their nose for the 412T2 and Schumacher later said he could have fought for the title in that car. Besides, it can't have been as bad as an evolution of that bendy ex-Reynard they had in 1994. I don't think any nose they could have gone with would have knocked the performance of the marvellous Deletraz.
