The 2012 Formula 1 Championship kicks off today in Melbourne. ‘Bad Furday’ shows us the new shape for ’12 with his generic Lego F1 2012 MOC on Flickr.
Due to new safety regulations, almost all the cars feature a horrifically ugly ‘stepped nose’ (the lower front wing reduces the chances of the nose riding over another car’s cockpit in an accident). McLaren are the exception, with a beautiful low sweep instead of the ugly step. Judging by their superb 1+2 in qualifying, it proves the adage; if it looks fast, it is fast.
Enjoy the Championship! (Or as much of it you can watch if you don’t have Sky)

Awesome! Lego have a lot of new cars and F1 designs but this blog with all those other designs are crazy! I’d love to see more race cars. 🙂
