It reminds me of Serena Williams back around 2001. 🙂
It feels a bit more "raw" and unpolished compared to the rest—not counting Chevrolet, of course...

I don't see why 🤷
If it passes the crash test, they'll probably just run with it.

If it clears the crash test, they’ll likely run with it.
They definitely won't... Why? It comes down to the rear wing concept and airflow obstruction, to keep it brief... You'll see... 👍

here's some more nonsense to chew on 🙂
It doesn't look half bad... especially compared to that hybrid drive mess we saw during testing.😬

Honestly, I’m actually glad they banned all those little winglets; the car looks so much cleaner without them. As for the rear wing, I’ll eventually get used to it...

Look, the Mercedes-Benz is still a gorgeous machine, don't get me wrong, but I just can't wrap my head around this new look. Those rear wings they've slapped on are honestly eyesores—way too high for my liking. It makes me wonder, though... with the aero shifted up like that, how on earth is the car going to handle the corners? I'm seriously questioning if the stability is going to be there when they hit the turns at full tilt.

Apparently, that cracked front wing on the Ferrari is the real reason they didn't show up in Austin.

Ferrari is facing some serious setbacks lately. First, there was that structural crack, and now it looks like their front wing just isn't handling the downforce properly (take a look at this photo)

Or maybe the guy behind the wheel just doesn't know how to drive. 😉

And let's not forget that illegal exhaust setup too...😬

Something illegal on a Ferrari?! 😱
No way... 😬

I don't buy it for a second... 😬
When they start rushing things, you really see how much they cut corners during their "thorough" inspections.

Arthur Doyle70 said:When they're moving fast, you can see how thoroughly he checks everything out.
Do you think he actually understands what he's looking at? 😬

Just tell him to look for that one damn sensor everyone keeps obsessing over; apparently, it's tucked away somewhere near the engine block.

It feels a bit like when I pop the hood and just stare at a pile of parts... even though I actually know where the dipstick is, where the windshield wiper fluid goes, and which reservoir holds the coolant. But from the outside, I probably look like I know exactly what I'm doing.😬

But the rear end looks weird—it’s a total departure from the usual design.
P.S. mistybear87, if this image is too huge, just shrink it down. I have no clue how to work this stuff🤷 or if it isn't, maybe explain how to resize an image or just use a smaller one with a link.🤷

What on earth is the point of those hubcaps on the rims? I know it’s nothing new, but a guy can dream, right?
Maybe the FIA will finally step in and ban them along with all the other junk.
I mean, they're meant for ugly steel wheels, not to put smiles on Bulletin Board Systems.☕
