This has to be the best looking modern F1 car so far

[Drederick Tatum]

Been thinking about this since I saw it on Friday, I am quite sure its easily the best looking car on the grid this season, but also the best looking of any modern F1 cars i can think of, its just stunning in my eyes, this is the best pic i could find though so if anyone has better ones please add

It will be interesting to see how it's looks change over the year. MG said they worked with a 20% margin on cooling and "shrink wrapping" of the bodywork should have happened by Barcelona.

I agree though, great colour scheme and nice shape. Looks a bit mid-90s almost.

It's just fantastic seeing that car on the grid once again baring the name "Lotus".
I really couldn't care what connection it does or doesn't have with the actual name, it's just great seeing it there.

Most mid 1990s cars did not have slab sided bodies. The slab side has come in because of the requirement to pass side impact tests.

Any green car looks good to me (the 1991 7 Up Jordan scheme was nice too).

Looks pretty slab sided to me Eric? This is the shape it reminds me of though.

Yes - that looks like the 1995 Williams so it would have been around 1995 onwards that the flat sided cars started to appear - which was also the time period when the side impact tests were introduced.

If you look at a 1994 or earlier car you will see how rounded the bodies were in comparison.
