I'm assuming you totally missed his post in the McLaren thread where after only seeing two cars, he'd stated that it was the championship winner?

Nobody can say by just looking at LAUNCH SPEC images of the cars, which one is going to win the title.

From what we've seen! The Toro Rosso also has the step, there's a picture of stacked noses in the STR thread

winner in terms of looks.... I thought it was clear, but clearly (lol) not

be intresting to see the cars in action but to be fair these nose's will most likely grow on us. look back at 2009 we all thought the cars were ugly but a few race's into that season they grew on us all and now......well. same story.

The 2009 onwards cars are ugly. The out of proportion high rear wing and wide front wing still look stupid, but we've come to accept it.

It's like how, when you're forced to watch Sex and the City with your other half, Sarah Jessica Parker becomes quite attractive in comparison to the other munters around her.

Put her in amongst a field of 1990s F1 cars and she'd look like the sour faced, mole sporting horse she is.

Or something.

Although i love the laymens tearms you have used and we have come to accept it however Sarah Jessica Parker has always and will always be a munter

I dunno. Give her a sugar cube and she smiles like Mr Ed. It's rather endearing.

The slot is either:

A) Driver cooling
B) For feeding the diffuser
C) Stalling the front wing (like Mercedes)
D) Cooling RBR troublesome KERS

^ I'm going to go for B.

I think this needs a poll.

well duh!!

wouldn't be much point in racing would there.

Slam62 · 6 Feb 2012 at 16:56

the slot is um a slot, some air goes somewhere, OMG where can it go, maybe it's to make Vettells hair look good.

utajoker · 6 Feb 2012 at 17:04

i bet its to help cool KERS. they have always had trouble with it and with newey not wanting to compromise design, maybe this is a way of helping keep it cool.

Slightly better image

What's with the lack of (real) pictures of this car?
They may as well have got a cartoonist to draw a cartoon of their 2012 car and released those.

Are they trying to hide the key features of their car? I don't think I've ever seen such a mysterious/shady launch of an F1 car before.

Locke · 6 Feb 2012 at 17:59

Well, the car will no doubt change a whole bunch over the next few weeks anyway, like everyone else.
