The weird nose is casused by the high tub.

never said it wasnt - but the high tub itself doesnt make the car "radical- looking" either

Oh man geniuse, this is what makes f1

Clever stuff. My only concern is the clamp down on off throttle mappings mean using the exhaust gasses over the diffused could create the sudden loss of grip when lifting off that hindered people when EBDs first appeared.

This. Wonder how they are getting round this problem.

It won't be as big an issue, as the downforce produced won't be anywhere near as high.
