2008 Italian GP - Race 14/18

No more ridiculous than the 'narrow-track' cars looked in '98 after so many years of wide cars, and no more ridiculous than they looked when they recently started sprouting those Batmobile-esque fins on the engine covers, and no more ridiculous than the first winged cars must have looked in '68/'69 when folks were so used to 'clean' looking cars. If everyone on the grid next season is sporting a rear wing like that, we'll be completely used to them by the time they leave Melbourne. Maybe even sooner.

JRS speaketh the truth.
Although I agree it does look silly at the moment. I didn't think the rule said they weren't allowed to be wide, only a maximum surface area?

After two races, by my count.

Once, because I honestly wasn't enjoying it and because some of you on here had really managed to rile me up with the just plain retarded **** that you were coming out with. And the second time because I honestly thought Lewis had gotten a bum deal from the stewards and once again some of you were doing your best to convince me that the theory of evolution had a distinct flaw somewhere and it was survival of the dumbest rather than fittest. Right now, however, my threshold for OcUK Motors F1 Thread Idiocy™ is at an all-time high so I'm going to try and put off falling out with F1 until McLaren lose their appeal.

Teams have been testing this week in Jerez.

Is it me or does the new F1 rear wing rules for '09 look ridiculous?

oh dear that looks terrible. i thought that idea was good, but i didnt relise they had reduced the width THAT much.

how comes they aint testing the new front wings yet?
 
I dont think that the lesser wing looks that bad. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, but I'm sure everybody shall get used to the new look of the cars very quickly.

On a side note, there is a fantastic article over on bbc, about Alonso, Ferrari, Raikonnen and a number of conspiracy theories.

It's hard to test multiple new components when still running the a 2008 chassis.
 
They should allow a bigger wing but less angle, kinda like how the cars drive in Monza.

That small wing looks daft as it is angled at max downforce so it looks very large in the middle.
