[FW17]

Yeah saw it, not sure if it has much benefits, else every car since 1994 would have had it.

That rear End is so non existent.....

On the Picture above it looks like half the Car is missing back there. Impressive Work by Williams.

Well, the idea of concealing the half shaft is to negate the "Magnus Effect" created by the spinning shaft in free air above the floor. The huge box that RB anc Macca are putting them in I believe is done with a desire to create a sort of double diffuser by making the lower rear wishbone limb so big it is almost another floor.

Hey, that photo is fascinating! Without the sharkfin the car looks like it has a shark bite instead. LoL! Where is the rest of it?

It's so small the back of the car it looks ridiculous. I'm not saying this isn't wining car, but for me this year Ferrari have the best balance in the design of the back. FW35 just look strange for me, like it will break in half after a while

I presume you mean the best balance from the estethics point of view, not a performance one.

Driveshaft is exposed. Looks like they're ducking that trend. Nice car though.

Sure. As I say I don't underestimate FW35, just for me Ferrari have both - advantages of slim back and good esthetically looking car.

It almost looks as if they took the chassis, lifted it from the floor, pushed it a meter forwards and dropped it down again

Last year's monkey seat was better looking, this one looks like something rudimentary HRT would come up with on a Friday afternoon after a few beers... Let's hope it's efficient!

Oh Dear Lord...!

FIA wants to ban new Williams exhaust system. Charlie Whiting says it's against the rules.

Williams' exhaust is legal, but Charlie wants to illegalize it as to prevent teams from building tunnels. Thats my view at least

I am not sure if I have to be amazed or to be disgusted. I alteast hope that that image is stretched.
