once you get past the narrow rear wing, they look just fine.

IMO:
Front wing looks a lot better, rear wing looks better (higher up, more vertical area, supported at both endplates) and worse (much too narrow to look natural). Less bodywork in front of the rear wheels is... interesting. But at least the undertray looks good. Slicks doing what they do (looking fabulous) all over again.
Is the track any wider, or is that an optical illusion?

It really opens up the rear wheels and has that... cute factor!

that front wing is hideous.
the rear wing just looks comical.
maybe i'll get used to it over the season, but right now the F1 cars looks too much like the lower-spec formula cars including the BMWs:
just doesn't look premiere...

As long as they keep that Renault around, none of the others will look

that bad by comparison.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Not the best looking F1 cars, but certainly not the ugliest either. From certain angles, the Ferrari and McLaren look good.
