There is no way than current cars are more complicated than the Williams FW14B

Sure, but that was driver aids and electronics, not just aero. I don't know how the FW14B aero compares to modern aero but this was a car that in 1992 required three separate computers to get started or something equally crazy.

I was trying to avoid saying that, but yes, very much so.

Also, looking back, the lower, wider rear wing is a lot better than the higher, narrower one.

You went for 90s Renault Williams and didn't even pick the best one:



Damon Hill in this livery was my favourite pick in the 1996 Formula 1 game.

He did post the best one.

Best looking modern F1 car... best modern livery for sure.

I'm trying to figure out a "imagine her face on her body" scenario, but I can't decide what car to put this livery on to make the ultimate combination.

The front wing hanging under the nose is super ugly to me. The 49 I like but I can't love any car from that era. Get into the early downforce era a few years later though and I'm all for that.

Not really related but gently caress Sauber. Im actually really sick of their poo poo. They don't really have that feel good back marker vibe anymore but more of a damaging team with a lovely culture.

It feels like a Colin Kolles team. I'd rather have Sauber die and Manor back.
