afx Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Ferrari unveils radical new F1 concept ESPN Staff February 17, 2015 © Ferrari Ferrari has released an image of an F1 concept car in an attempt to fuel debate about the future of the sport. The stylised rendering has been launched on its own micro-website by Ferrari's in-house design department and shows what an F1 car could look like with "minimal changes" to the current technical regulations. "Our challenge was to create something that was - to put it short - better looking," read a statement. "We value your comments on that." The images have been released amid intense debate over the future direction of Formula One as the F1 Commission gets ready for a vote on microsite to garner fans' opinion on the new concept. © Ferrari
Notoriousek Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Very interesting to say the least. Thanks for posting. Pretty cool looking concept car. I sure do miss the old days of formula 1. My favorite being the times of Fangio, Jimmy Clark, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart... All the way up until the 90s with Nigel and Senna. Those cars all had character and personality like the drivers of those days. I wish I was around back then, but luckily we have the Internet and YouTube so I can go back and relive those glory days of formula 1!
om617 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 "By 2017, I too would like to see cars that win over the fans, with cars that they can get closer to and that are aesthetically more appealing, maybe even producing a noise that gets your hair standing on end, like that produced by a heavy metal band," Arrivabene said. "That was what it was like back in the day when Niki [Lauda] was racing and I was an enthusiastic fan, clutching my general admission ticket. However, I don't think a simple evolution is enough in this case. The noise is the best part of F1 imo. Many years have gone since i bothered watch Le Mans after the diesel cars came into the game.
Bennyg Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 You can see laferrari influences in those art works. Looks good to me. Ben
bbowser Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I like it too. Being "nearly fendered" might aid in preventing those nasty launches when they touch wheels too aggressively.
Chuck Kourouklis Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Not sure about the integrated helmet. Everything else is just stunning to me, the first genuine beauty in F1 in quite some time.
Racephoto1 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Looks an awful lot like an Indy car to me.
58 Impala Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Looks pretty cool. i agree, it needs a screaming 100+ decibel engine to go with the looks.
