Another decent looking car!
Can see other teams adopting the paint job tidy up on the nose.

deuse · 28 Jan 2014 at 07:46

That box looking part on the front looks interesting

Skyboat · 28 Jan 2014 at 07:47

Adrian Newey is such a troll

Finally, a team with the common decency to paint the phallus black.

It's not painted

The Red Bull nose looks 'right', but will have to see how well it works with the Renault engine versus the others!

It doesn't look too bad, really hope it's not stupidly quick.

Duke · 28 Jan 2014 at 08:26

Well they don't have the uber blown floor/diffusers anymore, so will be interesting to see how skittish the cars are, with the slightly small wings too.

Looks ok to me, one of the better looking designs.

JHeaton · 28 Jan 2014 at 09:00

Honestly, without the, erm, appendage (and the god-awful livery), that would be perfect.

smr · 28 Jan 2014 at 09:16

Nice looker apart from the dong on the end.

leaskovski · 28 Jan 2014 at 09:32

I think Mercs looks better.

PinkFloyd · 28 Jan 2014 at 10:07

Definitely the best looking nose of those with the extensions. Doesn't look bad at all with the paint scheme.
The tower sticking out half way down the nose between the wheels is odd, it looks huge :/

They're pitot tubes used to measure airspeed. All the teams have them.

deuse · 28 Jan 2014 at 10:21

technical issue for rb

Just seems far more noticeable and bigger on the Red Bull.

Looks like it should pop up (i.e. become erect) after the press of a button

Obviously some air is travelling into that "U" shape, either driver cooling or to feed some sort of duct.

Newey has stated that RB have several nose designs to be tested. This one is called the 'keel' nose.

It must mean that there's some far uglier looking noses that can be put on the RB10 then

to me it makes sense to show off the least "donger" looking nose for the presentation :/

ThestigGT999 · 28 Jan 2014 at 15:49

best one so far IMO
