Yes, it's you.

When it comes to graphics/color I think they're the worst looking in F1...

NOT the graphics....the overall design/shape of the cars. Aside form the front wing (they are all terrible) The body lines are so much smoother in terms of the overall look. The wide nose on the front really helps. I think this car looks the best in terms of the design.

Graphics? Yeah...I agree with you. Nasty.

Ken,
Thanks for posting those pics. The essense of the season so far in terms of on and off track activity. Just beautiful!!

I find the details of the front aero pieces very interesting. Take a close look at the Brawn front wing that Chad just posted. Look at the profile. Then look at the profile of Hamilton's McLaren. Notice the "snake" shaped bulge on the end plate that seems to lead to the unique front wheel covers that McLaren is running. Fantasic!

This, to me is what F1 is all about, the differences in aerodynamic interpretations each engineer puts on their car and hopes will work better than the other cars and how each came to their respective designs. I'm hoping that F1 doesn't turn into a spec series.
