Looks like a bastard mix of Superleague Formula, A1GP Ferrari, and Japanese Super Formula.
But it's still better than the 2009-16 F1 cars.

I was talking about the current/2022 car not the Pinnochio one. (I think this year's Merc is basically 19ft long and next years car looks longer again.

At this rate, they won't be able to make it through the Monaco hairpin.

One thing I liked about the era when they had the drop nose after the footwell was that a lot of the cars actually looked different.John wrote: ↑2 years agoFuck off!MonteCristo wrote: ↑2 years ago Looks like a bastard mix of Superleague Formula, A1GP Ferrari, and Japanese Super Formula.

Even if they did still look bloody awful.

Those little F3 size rear wings did not make them look like F1cars

Must be the camera's perspective which is messing with our brains, because it should look like this. (God, I hope it does.)

Yeah, everything I've read points to the cars not increasing in size for next year. The missing wheels might be messing with the perspective.

Yes.... you would think they would have been able to come up with a set of 18inch wheels and tyres for a publicity photo.

So what do we have here? The biggest change will no doubt be underneath the chassis, to the floor, converting the cars to ground effects cars.
The rear wing looks to be less advanced too, no doubt with the intentions of reducing dirty air. There seems to be less aerodynamic wings and flaps around the sidepods and floor too - and I think Brawn's intentions is to outlaw these too, no?
Front wing too recieving a major overhaul.

Regarding wings... I guess it's impossible to say without knowing the exact level of flexibility the teams have.John wrote: ↑2 years ago So what do we have here? The biggest change will no doubt be underneath the chassis, to the floor, converting the cars to ground effects cars.

On the generic model, sure, it looks pretty basic. Very few elements and flick-ups. But is that because they're outlawed? Or because they made a few pieces for a car on the cheap? Personally, I hope the buggers are banned.
But either way, the teams will find and exceed whatever limitation they're given.
Isn't the case traditionally that the FIA says "We're introducing radical new rules to improve racing and cut downforce by 30% next year" and then downforce levels end up dropping only 10% come race one, and they're back to where they started by the end of the year.
