If you do "dip it" I'd wash it afterwards......getting grubby in here again....and a little odd to be honest.

That looks amazing. Great find Ezzy.

No doubt they spent a lot of time testing all those aero dynamics with every last shape making some sort of contribution to it's effectiveness, but what gets me is it's all those shapes that make it look fantastic. All that earo development has actually made it look better!

I wouldn't have a clue who he is (and don't much care) because I find F1 as boring as batshit these days. I also find the current aero packages make the cars look misshapen. I mean seriously, have another look at the front wing on that orange thing.

Remember when F1 cars were getting faster and faster? Hell, remember the turbo monsters from the 80's with ground effects? Now they did look special.

The current idea of slowing the cars down hasn't improved the quality of the racing in my view and has only impeded development.

And don't get me started on that bloodsucking ****** Ecclestone - what an ugly greedy little gnome he is.

Oh dear, I think it might turn into a rather large (mass) debate. Oh dear.
