I'm sure it will be worth it.... I hope..... Right? 
It has to grow on me yet.

It only looks odd because they've had the large wings for a long time. I'm not sure about the physics but I think it's part of a trend to allow drivers more control of the car. Or less, if you stuff up...

...Or because the wing is skinny, and tall, which is not in keeping with "sleek" and "cool".
Not debating the aerodynamic affect - as I trust the F1 aerodynamicists to know what they are doing... But from a superficial appearance perspective, I can't say the 2009 cars look "cooler" than the 2008 spec.

Does the car design really matter with Bernie Nutstone in charge? Hasnt he axed the Canadian Grandprix as well now?
Why not just give everyone a Formula Vee and call it quits?

They look awful.... and I do not think they really improve much... although I would have to learn aerodynamic physics...

It's intersting, but it will take some time to get used to, I had heard that they were talking about having everyone use the same engine for 09 or maybe 10 but that Ferrari would pull out of F1 if they did that. But the design is hard to look at right now.

Standardised engine proposal was decided that each team still makes its own engines: just they are equalising the peak power output to around 850hp. This is so that some teams, who had the lesser performing engine when the engine freeze was introduced, are not disadvantaged for seasons beyond.

The front wing looks fine, it is just not as before.
The back one though...
Couldn't they make it smaller without making it shorter?
