That's where opinions vary. F1 to me has to be open-wheeler. It has been like that since the start. Lose open-wheel, lose the essence of F1. but that's my thought.
BTW, it looks too LMP-ish to me not because of the wheel wells - well, partially -. It's because of the rear 'structure'
Offcourse the rear 'shape' is partially constructed as/from the wheel wells. But the rear is where i'm having most problems with as it classifying enough as a F1 car, offcourse the 2-seater set-up offcourse is another part of this.
what i like about this car is that, if it were a 1 seater, it'd be 90% full-futuristic perfect F1 car.
It covers so many issues that it's just amazing. The driver head protection: see-through windshield that protects driver from flying debris [wheels, springs, etc]. long enough nose construction for a decent crash-structure AND it will prevent another car from hitting the driver's head. It has advanced aerodynamics. it's got one of the most beautifull things;
no airbox. Like the mp4/4 f.e. clear rollhoop, looks great. The design of the sidepods. HUGE rear spoiler.
You know what, i'll make a thread to discuss this beauty.
