There are lots of folks who knock on Max, but surely nobody here is really knocking on Hamilton, right?Originally Posted by JoeW
At most JoeW would complain that he sounded like a whiny ass sissy boy, but no question that he is currently the best driver on track.
Other than the halo device, it’s actually very difficult to see the evolution from far away!
Can you guys tell which model year is which if each car is all by itself (if we remove the halo)?
They're arranged chronologically in the lower photo. The 2014 car is nearer the camera. You can then look of whatever car you want (by sponsors decals or the amount of black in the coke-bottle) in the front view picture. Also, the 2016 car is easy to spot because it ends with the number "6".
acket.
Now that you mention it, billi, it doesn't look to be period-appropirate, all cars seem to be sporting post-2017 wide tires.
Edit: Scratch that, top view seems to show correct tires on all cars.
Top view: (2014) - (2016) - (2018) - (2019) - (2017) - (2015)
Side view: 2019, ..., 2014.

I'm speaking mostly about physical features dude!
Most changes in exterior shape were probably mostly regulation driven.
Anyway, I personally found it interesting that the dorsal fin grew to it's maximum size in 2017... and then by 2019, it's now back down to the same low fin in 2014... wonder if that's regulation driven as well?
And I for sure won't be able to differentiate between the tires in different periods anyway...
It's killing me a little inside to know that they are adding weight again. Seriously? I really can't stand it...there is no reason for it.
Kind of. Look at the evolution from the 2014 to Rosberg's, the 2016 is clearly more refined, and to me at least, prettier.
2018 and 2019 were made under the same regualtions, but to me the earlier design is nicer. The 2019 car is a more robust, and a better all arounder, its colors are great, but I like the 2018 more.

I can't really pick out a favorite, but I can pick out the one I like the least, which is the 2014 version. That nose cone just looks ugly.
How do you know they're planning to add weight for no reason?
They added weight to the new 2021 spec cars. Why? I don’t know. but I do know they have the technology and materials to shave weight. So why the hell do they keep adding it? It’s just making it harder on the brakes, transmission, suspension and power units.
