BARCELONA (Reuters) - Formula One has put aerodynamics before aesthetics, with the new-look 2017 cars let down by "shark fins" resulting from a change in the rules, according to Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.

Apart from being wider, lower and on fatter front and rear tyres, the new generation of cars stands out for having prominent fins emanating from the airbox behind the driver's head.
