I've seen angles from which the size difference is even more apparent. When Alonso did a few laps in his championship Renault last year (or was it the year before) I remember my first reaction at seeing it leave pit lane - "that can't be real". It is astonishing how much bigger the cars have gotten.

From my limited understanding, this era of "super sized" F1 cars has put the really tight circuits like Monaco in jeopardy. It would be hard enough to pass on that track in a foot race, has always been difficult in an F1 car, but they are now almost literally out of room. It's like Larry, Curley, and Moe trying to go through a door at the same time.
