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

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

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.

Ideal for some short-term sponsorship.

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.

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.
