Title: Worst looking F1 cars
Post by: Dare on January 17, 2009, 02:50:58 PM

I don't know who made up this list
but I thought the 002 & 003 Tyrell
were among the best looking F1 cars

I agree with you, Dare. Several of those were great looking cars. On the other hand, how could there be a list of the the all-time worst looking F1 cars without the March 711 "Flying Tea Tray", of the Ferrari 312 T4?

Here's the Ferrari. The files were a bit too big for one post.

When Max said he wanted to get rid of all the "add ons" that made recent F1 cars look more like hedge hogs, I thought to myself, "ah he's finally talking of doing something positive". Then we went and screwed it with those wings, but what I love most is the summersaults. 

Many years ago moveable wings were banned on grounds of safety - today they're back.

Many years ago slicks were banned on grounds of safety - today they're back.

More recently front wings were raised on grounds of safety - today they're back down.

As recently rear wings were lowered on grounds of safety - today they're sky high again.

The list is endless.

Is this what anybody calls serious? Does anyone form the impression of serious management of the FIA from this?

I thought retirement age was 65. Can't somebody pension Max and Bernie off.

Looking at the list I get them impression that he does not like Tyrrells.
