Allison says 2017 rules will create beautiful cars

F1 is creating a fleet of "beautiful" next-generation cars. That is the news from Ferrari's technical boss James Allison, when speaking about the sweeping new rules for 2017 featuring wider cars and Pirelli tyres.

"We made a small step forward already to get rid of the horrible noses that we had a couple of years ago," the Briton is quoted by La Gazzetta dello Sport from the FIA sport conference in Turin. "Now, the rules for next season are a conscious effort to make incredibly fast and beautiful cars," he said on Wednesday. "Their proportions are fascinating, and those of us who are lucky enough to see them while they are born know that they are beautiful," Allison added. (GMM)

  • Who cares about pretty looking cars??, if a turd on wheels can help the driver win WDC that's all that matters and who are we kidding? that turd will be a thing of beauty in the eyes of the winning driver+team+fans.
