If only.... shark fin will return in F1 2022 or not

I honestly choose with shark fin because to make room for sponsors and also aerodynamic improvement.

Only if no sponsors on the fin.

It must have the driver's number in large, bright colour to help Croft work out who is in the car.

I never liked the shark fins. Don't want anything interfering with the nice clean lines of the new cars.

I dislike the fin immensely.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

I see no reason to want the full shark fin back, they are beyond ugly

The should get rid of the fin for aesthetic reasons but mostly because it is what made them so susceptible to being disturbed by winds. Cross winds in particular.

I thought it SOLVED the crosswind problem🤔

I love the look of the 3/4 fins, and it's a great driver number space for the fans to see.

Fin helps yaw stability but in gusting crosswinds will create a problem with shifting balance. Much like the unnecessarily massive rear wing endplates.

Exactly... The more surface area the more the winds will affect the cars stability.
Compare a Van or station wagon/estate wagon to something sleeker in the wind on the freeway. :wink:
