However, I was referring more to the visual perception of the cars being "fat". They look the way they do because there's simply more _stuff_ around the driver.

I'm quite liking the variation we're getting this year though.
Mercedes, RBR, Williams and Haas?

Oh, okay, anything that keeps the scenery off the driver is good as both Max and Lewis demonstrated last year, be good if the didn't behave like they were indestructible though. Neither would still be around with 70s level safety.

The variation in the designs is great, now to go and race them, can't wait.
