Bear with me here but I'm a tad confused why the designers (apart from Mclaren) have opted for the lego look this year.

As I understand it, the new rules say that the nose needs to be 10cm lower -so why have a sudden drop which 1) doesn't look all that aerodynamic and 2) looks bloody ugly, when a smooth curve a-la Mclaren will do ?

Whats the percieved advantage of the 'step' ?

Just curious..
