Was expecting it to be a little more sophisticated than just a plain funnel.

Sometimes to easiest solution is the best solution. Can't wait to hear the increase in volume, the noise from the engines is phenomenal but we need more volume.
Irvine:"If you don't have a good car you can't win it, unless you are Michael or Senna. Lots of guys won in Adrian Newey's cars, big deal. Adrian is the real genius out there, there is Senna, there is Michael and there is Newey.They were the three great talents."

Well, it doesn't look any more ridiculous than the nose on some of the other cars.

It gets uglier... That's exactly what F1 needs. Mocking.

In theory, though, it should be louder. Niki L. claims it's twice better. Nicola Pohl from Bild, and she's onsite, is on the opposite side. So far.

It looks like someone was changing the oil and forgot to take the funnel out.

The regulations would need change anyhow. As that exhaust is not legal.
