Nah, speculating about magic paint that makes the reflection look right from all angles, with all light sources is *way* more fun apparently. Maybe next they'll come up with paint that makes cars asymetrical.HampusA wrote:You would think the pictures with lines showing the logo sticking out or the redflections would be enough.. Guess not.
A lot of old folks on this forum so until the internet gets lens compensation and touch-a-vision they'all always be 2nd guessing the obvious photos.HampusA wrote:You would think the pictures with lines showing the logo sticking out or the redflections would be enough.. Guess not.
I find it incredibly hard to believe that when there's video & photo evidence showing that the logo is an actual badge they stick on the car people can still come up with way's to dismiss what it is.MeowMix wrote:It would make absolutely no sense having a real logo.
That logo is painted on. And whoever pointed out that they painted the black background then stuck the logo back on I believe is wrong. Although it seems to show the logo being stuck back on, if you see the way they used tape to hold it in place I reckon they ere going to use it as a template or guide for a different colour shadow (to compliment the black).
I find it incredibly hard to believe that in a sport where 0.05seconds could be the difference between a position, a logo that sticks out by more than 3 or 4 mm would actually ever be allowed on a car. Think of the useless weight, the effect on aero and everything. There is no way in hell that the logo is real ^^.

I know the 2010 logo was definitely painted on though.
That is from Leif Snellmans excellent site http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/main.htmThis is the race when according to Alfred Neubauer in his book "Männer, Frauen und Motoren" the Silver Arrows legend was born as the Mercedes-Benz cars were stripped of their white paint to clear the 750 kg weight limit. it is now established that the 1934 race was in fact run as a Formula Libre event with no weight limits and that Neubauer's story is DEFINITELY fictous.
