What do you think of the shark fins?

[Chrill]

Right. Simple enough. I want to know your opinion on this.

[Penfold]

Hmm, do I dislike them or hate them... I'll let you know after watching the race.

[Linny]

I don't like the way they look on the car.  They take away from the beauty of the design.

[Penfold]

I'm with you there.  Happily, at least for some of us, the fins may well be gone for next year: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/motor-racing/Formula1/shark-fins-red-bull-ferrari-mercedes-charlie-whiting-australian-grand-prix-a7646766.html

I don't hate them, but I would prefer if they weren't there. It's good advertising space, but no one really seems to be using them for that for some reason.

[Penfold]

Ideal for some short-term sponsorship.

[Chrill]

BUT I LIKE THEM. You're meant to back me up.

[Matt]

Based on the poll, you more than like them. <3

[Chrill]

I havent actually voted yet. But yes I do!

[Matt]

Mystery voter.

I read this back when it was announced. I just couldn't remember to post it. But yeah, they are staying because they are good advertising space for the teams.

[Matt]

Most of the teams don't seem to do a very good job of actually using them for that purpose though.

Idea is that shark fins will be used for driver numbers/names so rest of car is free to carry adverts, because obviously teams have so many sponsors these days it's hard to cram them all in.
