Maranello, Italy - Speed is not a problem. But could Formula One cars have a sprinkling of extra style as well? Yes, according to Ferrari which has released images of a ‘concept’ design - a cross between its 2015 challenger and a supercar.
It has called on fans to voice their opinion and, despite its seemingly radical nature compared with today’s cars, the Maranello marque insist few changes to the regulations would be required for F1 to venture down such a route.
Ferrari wrote on its website: “Would it be possible to come up with an F1 car that is not only is technologically advanced, but also captivating to the eye and aggressive-looking? And could this be made without having to overturn the current technical rules? At Ferrari, we believe so. Let us introduce you to the “concept design” that was conceived by our design studio together with the Scuderia’s aero department.
“Our challenge was to create something that was - to put it bluntly - better looking.”
The design came on the day the Formula One Commission considered aesthetic changes to the cars for the 2016 campaign and beyond.
