I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

How good did the car look under the lights in Bahrain. Probably my favourite looking car since the 09 changes, and with the slightly narrowed front wing. =D>
Mine too.

The 1973 Shadow DS1, somehow combining absolute minimalist dimensions with organic lines.

Racing should be decided on the track, not the court room.

I think the most beautiful F1 car has much to do when you first watched, or first was grabbed with the sport (it like doctor who...).

For me it was in 1984, the year that Niki Lauda and Alain Prost battled it out... In black and white on a small TV and I fell in love with the MP4/2... I even saved up enough money for a small toy car.

I really loved the way the sidepods were shaped, with the exit on top and the fat engine cover. Just perfect in proportion!

You have almost summarized so far all the amazing cars we have been able to admire. From the amazing Lotus (JPS), Simtek, Schumacher’s Ferrari era and even some good-looking Minardi cars… with the all-mighty MP4/4 and the lovely MP4/8.

Allow me to present one car that even when it was a disaster, it was good looking with a smooth nose and the amazing sidepods; it might took Newey out of Mclaren but it was a great bet –that didn’t worked well.

MP4/18

This is Red 5, I’m going in.

The beautiful 250F in 3-D. Please note the 250F streamliner tested in Rheims and raced in Monza in 1955 by Jean Behra (6th).

That scoop is just comical, imagine how poor the airflow is over the rear wing as a result!
