Looks flippen amazing. However, I would hate to drive it, sitting that low, with those massive arches, visibility around corners will be interesting. Could be just the thing F1 needs to spice up races.

I would also like it to look like this, not that cool-drink-car design. Well done Ferrari designers!

 

How Ferrari would like the future-F1 to look.

At last. A rule that makes sense. A helmet used to be the drivers signature until sponsors took over

Its called open-wheel racing for a reason.  F1 wouldn't be F1 with that design.  Call it something else then.

Haha, some dups and some same driver-different-helmet inbetween all of that... Personally - I don't like crazy changed as Vettel did over the last couple of years. But the odd once-off change is cool. 

 

To try and regulate it?! FFS... what a joke. Much bigger issues at hand which they should attend to.

In a move that could only means good things for the local economy, it would appear that it is all systems go for a brand-spanking new F1 racetrack in Cape Town. In 2016 the racetrack could be a reality, with the proposed route passing through Cape Town Stadium.

 

Africa is the only continent without a F1 racetrack and what better city to host such a prestigious event? Cape Town – we could very well be the face of the new ‘African Riviera’. According to officials the infrastructure is already there from the World Cup to accommodate the racetrack and the beauty of the plan is that it will be a regular money spinner for the city, not just for F1 in the long run.

This isn’t a first for Cape Town however. In the early 1960’s Killarney hosted Formula 1 before being moved to Kyalami in 1967.

British business magnate Bernie Ecclestone has confirmed that he is looking to make the racetrack a reality in 2016. Nothing is as ever straight-forward as it seems and we can be sure that there will be protests against the racetrack due to the potential noise pollution and other knock-on effects.

Personally I feel that if it boosts tourism and brings in much needed additional money into the city, then I cannot say that I’m against it.
