That's when F1 cars were sexier in my opinion.

Sleek machines without the stupid winglets and crap you get nowadays.

[f1manoz]

Of course it doesn't add to the racing, but we all watch on television, making it a visual sport. The sparks added an element of excitement, something you didn't find in other forms of racing.

I wish the powers that be would understand the visual impact of the sport. Same reason you (and I) want to see less horns & winglets - less ugly, more sleekness.

Remember those few races at the A1-Ring (nee Osterreichring) in Austria? The mountain forests made for such a strong and majestic visual. But sadly we don't get that anymore, just boring sand.

And ohmygod can you imagine sparks at the night race? wackit x 11ty.

I also prefer the lines of the "smooth" looking cars - before all the winglets, etc. The F1 cars of the early-90s were gorgeous cars - classic designs and liveries. Even the more recent F2002 and F2004 were great looking cars without all the added bits.

They should just put in the new rules:

'Cars must look like they did circa-1992.'

I think this is the ugliest car I've ever seen.

I love that the classic rear wings are going to be back.

I can't wait to see some streamlined cars with slicks!!!!

Damn, when's the next race? Anything new from Mosley yet??

At least he'd finish races.
