I don't care whether they're functional or not. Aesthetically they look 🤬 awful. :yuck:


[EDIT]

I think if F1 were to return to front engine rwd, then the shark fin/billboard would look kind of okay. Can't ever see that happening though.

They look fine on prototypes, but I'm no fan of them on open-wheelers.
 
2008-2010 Shark fins were the definition of beauty imo. But a lot of teams seem to be messing them up for 2017...
 
I must admit, the new Sharkfins don't look as good as they did in 2008

When they had the curve at the end, so it comes to a point, they look awesome.

Sauber have got it right

But I do hate the "meat cleaver" look some of the teams have gone for.

The fin looks better as a point.
 
After looking at some footage from the tests, I officially love the fin on the Sauber and the Haas. If your gonna have shark fin, That's how they should look. Way better then ANY of the boring fins on the LMP cars.
