IMO the cars anounced so far are some of the ugliest F1 machines ever built.







The platupus look just doesn't work for me. However will it force new tooling from the big slot manufacturers?



Only McLaren have avoided the stepped nose so far.

I cannot see manufacturers like Hornby, SCX and Carrera changing their Mclaren tooling, as the new car looks more like the 2009 real car than ever before.

Agreed on the McLaren - get ready for another re-spray from Scaley. I'll bet that Carrera will have the subtle shape differences. Love the Force India livery, hate the stepped nose, but would be nice if someone made that car.

I am surprised that several years into F1, no one has yet to pick-up and make the Force India cars,
must be licensing?

I too would like a Force India car.
