Not really. F1 cars haven't been beautiful for a long time. They're built for purpose.



A few examples of where they often went a little wild.

rubbish…2 of those seasons hamilton has been in the best car on the grid and he got extremely lucky winning his title, not even his fanboys can deny that. he still has to prove himself and he is nowhere near good as mansell - let alone any other british driver yet because he is yet to prove himself properly.

Whilst 'average' is probably incorrect for JB you are a bit wide of the mark on Hamilton. He's the prime driver out there, it's a shame the Kraut retired when he did because we will never see the almighty one truly challenged (except for Hakkinen).

It's like they asked someone from Scrapheap Challenge to design and build F1 cars.

I'd like to see all the famous F1 drivers pitted against each other on Top Gear somehow, see who would come out top.

i don't think he acts like a cunt off the track, he's never arrogant or rude and he always puts in 110% in interviews

been a good race so far though, it will be restarted if the gp2 race this morning is anything to go by, although it was interesting to see what alonso said to webber.

Kovalainen is so shit, mclaren need to get rid of him - he's good but just not good enough

Hamilton is boring as fuck, I like him more when he gets a bit dirty but that's not saying much. Always liked Button, wished he'd done better. Now it's brilliant.

Laughing out loud That diffuser thing was casting a shaddow ofver the racing. Looks like this season is going to be interesting, the KERS certainly adds an extra element.
