That nose would be the worst on the grid

We have yet to see the Caterham and the Marussia, mind you. That being said the FI nose looks like a massive strap-on. :/

It doesn't help that the strap-on is black, on a white body :-/

 

Also, how come that wherever Lewis ends up, the car looks good compared to the rest of the grid? Last year's McLaren didn't have a step in the nose, and this year's Merc can be shown before the watershed.

Lewis has the styles :)

The Merc is deff the best looking so far.

 

The Force India is ridiculous!

[Lingwo]

All these different noses will hopefully lead to an exciting open season of racing... or they'll all perform similarly and it'll be the same as last year :laugh:

 

While Mercedes were looking good on the first day test at Jerez. Hamilton has just binned it in the barrier.

The next ridiculous nose: Caterham.

That's the worst one to date; it looks like they haven't finished the bodywork on it.

Close view of that nose!

Quite brave by Caterham considering they're back markers. Wonder if it will pay off and move them into the midfield.

[JoeC]

I guess Caterham are REALLY struggling for team funds then, they couldn't even afford to finish the car.

[LeGourmand]

Seems like a good design to me (not visually), probably the nose that will let pass the most air under there. Still, it won't help them very much.

This does not bode well for Red Bull.

I prefer the older cars sound but if the racing is better this year. They can sound like my Focus for all i care :laugh:

 

The toro rosso sounds like a train in the final turn.
