those Ferrari unis really look rather feminine. Slimming in the waist and accentuating the hips.

Interesting RW detail

Barge boards look interesting too. Haven't found any good shots of the rear floor area tho launch spec may not show much detail.

Ferrari with the T wing too. I have a feeling the McHonda will have juan when it rolls out of the garage.

This is cool. Has slider to compare 2016 to 2017 car. The last 1, front view is weird tho. I don't think the perspective is quite the same. The 2017 car appears higher at lower portions of the car (2017 FW is higher) but lower at higher parts (top of the tyres are lower)

I don't think there's going to much "copying" of those tee-wings the Merc and Ferrari are sporting. Why? Because the area within the exclusion boxes is ginormous and everyone has a solution in the works IMO. Stolen from imgur below to share here.

So the question is are these going to be just single plane elements or are the teams just "testing the waters" right now

Remember these?






Granted the body work exclusions zones won't let them get that creative but I'm curious as to what we might see.

I'm pretty sure its written into the regs that you cannot have another wing before the rear wing. Not within those exclusion boxes anyways.
