Ferrari F2012

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

But Force India and Caterham don't have Lego models for us to post ;)

Also it looks more like Lego than the others. Simple facts.

edit : after checking maybe not after all... :oops:
maybe the renault r27?

Lol, I know it was an attempt at sarcasm. It doesn't come off as intended.


Question, if Ferrari decide pull rod front was bad idea, they can change back to push rod correct? I'm reading the Regs and see nothing that says they cannot.

Isn't the tub a season homologated part? That is, once it's tested and signed off at the start then it's set for the season? Presumably a new suspension design would require a totally new tub...

I know it doesn't matter, that form follows function, especially in a world where only results count, and especially with a car in which it's quite obvious the designers have taken genuine risks. I tell myself that maybe I'm looking at the car that will deliver both 2012 World Championships to Ferrari. My brain understands; it can discern the truth from the lines.

My stomach, on the other hand, feels a little queasy. It's skeptical. I think it's because my eyes aren't making a very good argument to the rest of me that the images they're reporting are real. "Bullshit!" my stomach says, "We're just getting sick and 'seeing things' again," and is assuming its role as my biological bouncer and is making preparations to clear the room.

I guess this is all my way of saying that perhaps Formula 1 has finally jumped the shark with the regulations. Anything that produces such a staggering collection of compromises needs to be reexamined from the top down, because something has clearly gone wrong.

+1 (except for the bit about hoping this car wins both championships, but I appreciate the sentiment)

Meh. Everyone says this every year. That the cars look different or weird or silly. E.g. - when the broad front wings and narrow rears came in.

Then it's quickly forgotten.
