Another ugly boxers' nose

Bigger version

The FI has tiny sidepods. Nose aside, it looks pretty good.

Skeeter · 3 Feb 2012 at 09:11

So we have the alligator Caterham, and now the hammer head FI....

GravyMonster · 3 Feb 2012 at 09:13

Hell of a lot of rake on the FI though. Looks like even more than the McLaren, could just be the angle of the side photo though.

Another awful looking car. Really hope the rest aren't like this.

3 out of 4 with the broken nose look.

GravyMonster · 3 Feb 2012 at 09:19

Extreme close up of the nose

Duke · 3 Feb 2012 at 09:19

The rear is a lot tighter than last few years for them.

Does that nose cam do 3D as well as HD?

AUTOSPORT technical correspondent Gary Anderson said the Force India looked extremely promising at first sight.

"I'm impressed and, including what I've seen of the Ferrari, this looks like the best overall package yet," Anderson told AUTOSPORT. "The car looks very good in all areas. The exhausts are a bit non-commital, but that can change easily."

Nose aside it looks nice. Tiny sidepods! Looks like it will have a very clean aero profile for straight line speed?

They are cameras, and yes, I expect so.

Kerming · 3 Feb 2012 at 11:17

f1 2012........possibly the ugliest f1 field? well one thing is for sure, mclaren will be the fastest on the straights haha

Skeeter · 3 Feb 2012 at 11:19

I dont think a little sloped step in the nose is going to cause the "omg shed loads of drag!" that people think it will
