His latest column in Car & Driver talks about race cars, past and present.
He says that:
"Formula 1 cars are the ugliest 4 wheel vehicles seen in public since the Pontiac Aztek"
I agree. Yeah, I know, technology drives the design, but do they have to like a walrus?

F1 cars were never intended nor did they aspire to be pretty.
Having said that, an F1 car looks awesome to me.

The new Williams is the first F1 car in recent memory that I would classify as "ugly." But in general the organic shapes of the sidepods and engine covers are pretty sweet if you study them.

All of today's F1 cars look alike. Ugly gets uglier. There might as well be a common spec car.
Compare these to the ones of the late 70s and 80s in particular. Those were some attractive , yet distinctive racers:
The Ferrari 312T4, 126C2, C3, C4; Bennetton B186, 187; March 871; Tyrell P34; Lotus 99T, McClaren MP4, Zakspeed 831 and many others.
You could certainly tell one make from the other.
IMO, I enjoy watching racing more when the cars are appealig to the eye, like the above or some of the Group C and GTP cars.
