Was calling it a Fiat intentional?

That's a strong look! mind there's not been a mild one yet

Interesting. Nose looks like a vacuum cleaner

Stepped nose and a rather big snout. Reminds me of an Aardvark or something.

I did think this too!

It's a fairly ugly looking Ferrari...as long as its 2s a lap faster than the Red Bull I'll very happy

Be intresting to see how the others interpret the nose rule as that's pretty different to the others who have announced so far.

About right but the Merc will be faster

Oh jesus that mings hard. Am I in some sort of F1 hell at the moment? Can I wake up now?

planty · 25 Jan 2014 at 13:40

I actually like it. The stepped nose looks a bit severe but I think it looks better than the mcLaren and lotus. Let's hope its good on-track this year!

Finners · 25 Jan 2014 at 13:46

Can't decide if I like the looks more or less than the pointy nose cars, side pod intakes look smaller than others though.

Nicer than the McLaren in my opinion but then that's a bit like saying Chlamydia is better than Herpes.

Fan vote. Obvious that was going to win.

Ugly nose I don't mind the anteater noses. McLaren is pretty tidy.

There are some bloody ugly front ends coming out this year! Having said that, I like the fact we have some new rules and hopefully it will mix things up a bit.

I thought the rules states that the front of the nose should be like the McLaren's one?

Skyboat · 25 Jan 2014 at 14:03

Looks like an elephant's trunk dipped in red paint

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.

Don't like.
