JESUS H CORBETT!!!! That is digusting, mind you cant wait to see the Kobmeister use the nose as a spatula to lift his opponents out of the way.

With each passing car its looking more and more like McLaren have gone against the grain.

Red Bull follow stepped nose trend. Not as bad as the others to be fair and looks quite nice.

So what's the feeling- have McLaren pulled a rabbit out the hat with their design?

So the RB8 has the platypus nose as well. Stroke of genius from McLaren or not?
It's getting kind of hard to believe things are going to get better. I've been drowning too long to believe that the tide is going to turn. And I've been living too hard to believe things are going to get easier now. I'm still trying to shake off the pain from the lessons I've learned. And if I see Van Helsing, I swear to the lord I will slay him. AHA HA HA. He take you from me but I swear I won't let it be so. AHA HA HA. Blood, will run done his face, when he is decapitated AH! His head on my mantle is how I will let this world know...how much I love you.

McLaren are either going to walk this or have a new car by April.

I'll wager there are some squeaky bums at McLaren right now. EVERYONE else seems to have interpreted the regulations in a different way from them.

Look at this pic, it looks like Red Bull have taken advantage of the platypus nose to give the car some extra air intake. Stroke of genuis? Adrian Newey always seems to be one step ahead of everyone else!!

Maybe, or a complete red herring. Newwy isn't renowned for having cooling vents as it hurts aero- hence why Red Bull's KERS kept frying itself.


Here is Toro Rosso. Another broken nose. McLaren must be thinking, have we got this right! Posted Image

Apparently McLaren don't need the broken nose because they've always had a lower chassis centre line.

in the ugly stakes i'll go for

1. Torro Rosso
2. Ferrari
3. Sauber

Surely this 'step' could have been made a more aerodynamic shape? can they have a different shaped one (as part of the shell) for the higher downforce tracks? admittedly it would be a tiny fraction of a difference, but milliseconds can make a lot of difference in quali
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Those cars are hideous. I realise it's a consequence of the technical regulations, but they look horrible.



Now, the 1995 Ferrari, there was a beautiful F1 car. :wub:

The Toro Rosso clearly is NOT the ugliest car out.

1. Sauber
2. Ferrari
3. Caterham

New regulations say the nose of the car has to be lower. i think it's to stop accidents like Webber had at Valencia in 2010.

...and here is the Williams FW34,

oh look its got the nose. Sleepless nights ago go at McLaren. Could this be the most disastrous design decision in F1?

More like these, please, Ferrari. To use a Clarksonism, these are Scarlett Johansson in carbon fibre.

I was at Silverstone that year, when Senna had a great fight with Prost in the early laps. It certainly was a good looking machine, perfectly in proportion. I also like this, Dan Gurney's 1967 Eagle-Weslake;

Yes! Yes! Yes! Ronnie in perhaps my favourite F1 car of all time. Just a shame he wasn't allowed to use it to compete for the championship. I like the 72 as well, but preferred it when it first appeared in Gold Leaf colours. It raced in some form or another for six seasons! A guy from Dunfermline drove it in a couple of Grands Prix in 1975.
