Ferrari Mailing List: Rain...

[Rick Lindsay (richardolindsay]

Hello Friends,

I don't mean to be insulting with my comments regarding this year's F1 cars. I just find them ugly. Its just my opinion, and you know what opinions are like.

The current F1 formula is so restrictive that the designers have to resort to wild designs to wrestle back performance. Witness the narrower front wings that have grown a multitude of elements to compensate. I am reminded of species that grow bizarre appendages in response to a restrictive environment, then go extinct when the environment changes. (BTW, humans survive environmental change because we're generalists, not because were specialized.)

Or perhaps I'm overly critical of the current Formula 1 formula because today promises to be yet another rainy day...
