But boy does it look UGGGLLLYYY from any angle in an 100 degree arc centered on the nosecone.Hangaku wrote:Personally, I can never see their crazy design winning a race this sea... OH SNAP.
I agree, and I don't think anyone can deny it's ugly. Though for some sick reason I think the design will actually grow on some people and they might actually find it good lookingTumbarello wrote:But boy does it look UGGGLLLYYY from any angle in an 100 degree arc centered on the nosecone.Hangaku wrote:Personally, I can never see their crazy design winning a race this sea...

I like it. It's different and an example of form following function which is so refreshing in this "aesthetics is all" world...Tumbarello wrote:But boy does it look UGGGLLLYYY from any angle in an 100 degree arc centered on the nosecone.Hangaku wrote:Personally, I can never see their crazy design winning a race this sea...

I'm not 100% sure you've got the idea of form following function – the implication of this phrase is that you first make something extremely functional, and that from that, a beautiful aesthetic shape falls out. This is a lot to do with where the phrase "if it looks fast it probably is" came from – the beauty of the car is there because the design is very efficient. In the McLaren's case it's more a case of the inevitable exception to the rule that form follows function. The car works well, but boy is it ugly!Just_a_fan wrote:I like it.

So? F1 is not a beauty pageant!beelsebob wrote:but boy is it ugly!
I don't think it's ugly. That's a subjective judgement with which you can not argue. You should say "I think it's ugly" not "it is ugly".beelsebob wrote:I'm not 100% sure you've got the idea of form following function – the implication of this phrase is that you first make something extremely functional, and that from that, a beautiful aesthetic shape falls out.

What's the matter with you people and closing every single thread?chepoi wrote:is this still the case? i vote for closing this thread.. this thread is more to arguing each other for nothing. This thread is relevant during the pre-season up to Shanghai but now... F1 circus is back to Europe.. so this is the time for admin to closed this thread.
thank you.
It's done the opposite for me. I started off not hating it and actually thought it looked cool and interesting, not ugly either. But the more I see it out on track, from front on down those friggin long F1 straights, I feel covering my eyes. It's fugly.raymondu999 wrote:I agree, and I don't think anyone can deny it's ugly.
