Ugliest Thing I Have Seen Today

Seriously.


(taken from here)
No, I'm not talking about the girls

I know it's freakin' boring to read every single blog talking about F1 this and F1 that. But I just have to mention this. Is it just me, or the trophy is embarrassingly ugly? I don't understand. Singapore is so kiasu. Must win in everything. And then come up with the crappiest stuff ever. *Rolls eyes*

Have ya seen the barriers? They are as thick as the concrete slabs at the side of the road. Why no thick tyre barriers like other countries? I seriously don't think that the pathetic looking barrier is gonna cushion a racecar going over 200kph while crashing into it.

Coming back to the trophy..




Read this article.

Seriously?

"So I walked around aimlessly on the streets, looking at people and things for inspiration and it helped." - as quoted by Zulkifle, designer behind the trophy

Maybe I can't appreciate nice art, maybe I'm stupid. Maybe I'm just way over my head. But cut up some exhaust pipes, poke them into a steering wheel mounted on a wooden base, and then painting it F1 colours... Wow, that was an absolutely brilliant idea! How inspiring!

Naaw it isn't just you. That is indeed a very very ugly trophy!

Think the designer tried too hard to make something different/unique. He forgot that the main purpose of a trophy is to look grand.

A trophy that isn't grand shouldn't even be called a trophy. Hahaha...

Cheers,
