Might be a strange angle or a result of photoshop. But that looks like it has negative rake!?Here's another angle
DRS slots look smaller to me, or is the entire rear wing larger? Hard to tell when it's so different from last year.
Ground effect will likely mean high rake is out.Might be a strange angle or a result of photoshop. But that looks like it has negative rake!?
Wish we could see the underbodies. They might be the most exciting part of the changes this year.Ground effect will likely mean high rake is out.
I think that looks mega though, could be an era of beautiful cars.
Both the front and rear wings have changed a big amount. That was the whole point of the regulation change.Here's another angle

WOW that is a good looking car.Here's another angle

That's the only real car we got so far tbf. It looks stunning and can't wait for other to reveal their cars so we can compare differences.Yeah thats the best of the lot so far, will be hard to beat that.
Valid point. Perhaps I will rephrase that it will be hard to beat, even as one of the first to be revealed!That's the only real car we got so far tbf. It looks stunning and can't wait for other to reveal their cars so we can compare differences.
Hats off to Aston Martin to actually reveal how their car will look like.
Negative rake would be front of the car sitting higher than the rear.Car looks sexy.
No clue about all the technical shit yet. fecks a negative rake
very dangerous setup!Car looks sexy.

Tbf it just looks as a negative rake because front wing is high to let clear air going where it will matter much more to get the most out of ground effect which will be primary downforce contributor. But yeah with ground effect we will not see high rake cars.Negative rake would be front of the car sitting higher than the rear.
This would never be the case in racing.

"The main thing is going forward is there is clarity in those sorts of situations."
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/60325767"It's great racing and everyone wants to see the two drivers in the championship go head-to-head with one lap to go, but you can't be making up rules at the end of the race like that. It has to be set in stone," the Canadian said.
"If the consequence is that there is not time, and we don't get a whole lap of racing, well..that's how it is. This was maybe a little bit too much. It's important those things are set in stone.
"Abu Dhabi was just not right. When there's a safety car, lapped cars get to overtake the safety car and then we go racing. There is nothing that says half the cars can overtake and half stay behind and then we go racing. Those things can't be modified just to put on a show.
"The rules are the rules and you can't be changing the rules for entertainment. It has to be sport first."
Those are drivers. They obviously know nothing about "car racing".any one see the cry more hamilton fan boys at aston moaning, crying about the final few laps of last year? crazy the lengths hamilton fans will go to.

yeah, stroll’s view point is exactly aligned to mine and i’m a massive cretin.Those are drivers. They obviously know nothing about "car racing".
a bit like wishing your virginity away only to have it taken by harvey weinstein during your first hollywood audition.Max in private must be fuming that his first championship is under such a cloud.
Brundle and Hill changing tack now and saying basicallly that Hamilton was robbed when at the end of the race they were so giddy with Max being the champion, so poor. They should have had the backbone to call it that way at the time.
