Picky picky. A balloon is just an aeroplane with the same number of properly functioning engines and aero packages as the RB10.

That balloon was nothing like any aeroplane I've ever flown in and as for it being the same as a current F1 car, are you on something? I wasn't being picky at all, just pointing out your error which you seem to want to confront me about.

Compared to the rest i think it looks the best,

Nope, it still has a dong on the front.

When viewed in Jerez all the cars looked far better in motion than they do in a still picture. In fact, the Merc and Ferrari look worse because the hump is so much more visible - just my opinion. But in stills it is a different matter..!

The Mclaren's dong isn't that bad but the nostrils are worse than any of the other cars, the curved bits down to the wing make it look so so much worse. It's no big green nasty lump of a front end, but I don't think it looks very good. I think the Marussia/RBR look significantly better and the Merc pretty much kills everything on looks... the Lotus, I want to see more angles of it, it's bizarre and new but looks pretty good.

I think you all forgot to read that bit. JeditOjanen was saying that the red bull didn't have a functioning aero package or engine, just like the balloon

Agreed. A lot will come down to Melbourne and Malaysia though. The cars that win those races will magically appear to look far better

WAYYYYYYYY

When the Red Bull and Torro Rosso did actually manage some laps and spluttered past, the crowd were all jeering. I'm not surprised, given the Spanish fans' reaction to Lewis Hamilton a few years back, but after three years of success I think Red Bull are an easy target to mock.

Good, I like easy targets.

/evil grin.

I quite like the nostrils, has a Bullish kind of image about it that looks like it's ******* off and means business
