Ferrari F14 T 2014 Launch Thread

[Nismo]

Not a fan of that, way too long and wide.

The penis of the McLaren is actually preferable IMO.

I threw up a little bit.

F1 noses are horrible this year, stupid rules

 

[Dangerscouse]

The jock strap Mclaren suddenly looks pretty

 

[Ryan-3]

The stepped nose looks a bit severe but I think it looks better than the McLaren and Lotus.

I have to agree. Ugly as hell though!

 

[Nimzicki]

Awful looking thing. Shame, I liked the strong, squared look of last season's car.

 

[Lunatic Dreyfus]

Dat nose!

McLaren's conk is the way to go, given the alternatives... but F1 really is in a bit in a state at the moment.

I think everyone is waiting for the red bull to see how the nose shoud look and confirm which other team has got it right

 

[deuse]

Not at all, the front of the nose has to be low with a minimum cross section.

Most will go finger nose, as they want the rest of the nose as high as possible, to aid airflow under the car.

Lotus is also totally legal, as you are only allowed one front part at the allocated size/place so making the other nose slightly shorter gets around the rule.

Thanks

I like that, so far at least, we have a few different designs of noses... they are all hideous, but at least they are different from each other

ok it's not making a great impression on people but what is it about the nose that people don't like?

I'm actually not that keen on any of it but if it wasn't stepped it wouldn't look tooo bad imo. The tip isn't _that_ bad looking.

It's the fact that it's coupled with a step that makes it look pretty ugly though :/

edit- actually I take that back, the front nose tip is ugly :|

Just look at it, it is hideous.

 

[gilchrd]

Horrible.

 

[~Mike~]

I don't like the way it steps down and the wide mouth at the front. Reminds me of one of those fish that have huge mouths.

 

[smr]

Just look at it, it is hideous.

edited my post, had another look. You're right, it is.

 

[Skeeter]

Uuuuuuuurgh.

Looks like they have kept the tub as high as possible as far forward as possible then dropped away to fit the bulkhead height limit, whereas the Lotus, Williams and McLaren have a gradual slope to the bulk head.

 

[Valo]

It really isn't a looker!

It going to be interesting to see which front wing design will work out the best, given that all three cars revealed so far have vastly different designs. I'm looking forward to seeing what direction the other teams have gone with, some teams could perhaps have to go back to drawing board - just like the Double Diffuser development race in 2008.

 

[deuse]

Well we can all call it Ferrari Dyson now

 

[ng93]

Anyone know why the nose has so little space under the tip, when for the past few years everyone has had as much space undereath as possible, and with McLaren and Lotus this year trying to minimise the amount of bodywork at the center of the nose?

 

[Flibster]

Front wheels back - absolutely fine.
Front wheels forward - MY EYES! IT BURNS!

It's the worst so far, and that's some stiff competition.
