Well done Aldo Costa for designing it.
Ferrari have gone backwards since his departure.

I was just thinking whilst watching the onboards how Blackberry might be gone in a year or two, but their name on the headguards will now be remembered for decades. Legendary car.

Not only a superb car, but arguably the nicest-looking one on the grid, in terms of the proboscis-nose treatment.

Redbull get this award I think, quite easily.
Still a cracking F1 car though.

Surely the kudos belongs to the power unit integration team, arguably it wasn't the best car from aero perspective and others had the same engine but the team who put that engine into that car with the allegedly "right" choice of charge cooling where the miracle workers.

I see Merc say they can find "at least" 60hp with only marginal allowed changes and without the unfreeze happening! Renault and Ferrari must be furious :-)

I understood the PU allowed the aero & packaging to be much neater, maybe now they know more about this the other merc customer teams will be closer next year...

I also do wonder if the 60hp is a bluff...
