deano67 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Still hideous. I think every one so far has been awful, I understand the safety side of things but surely the new noses increase the chances of going underneath another car in a crash from the back or flipping the other car if from the side. The Ferraris' hump reminds me of this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Has their ever been such a varied collection of designs? Most cars look fairly similar apparently from a few wee tweaks here and there from what I can remember, this year they all seem to be quite obviously different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 These cars are all horrible. The drop in the nose on the Ferrari ruins an otherwise decent looking car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deano67 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 By far the worst nose up to now, thought it looked ok in the other photo, looks like they've stuck a dildo on last years car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRubberFist Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Durex sponsorship deal for Toro Rosso? Seriously, that car should be banned on grounds of sheer indecency, never mind ugliness. Kids watch F1, FFS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Can someone explain to a non F1 fanatic why most of the teams have gone with the penis whereas Ferrari hasn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Can someone explain to a non F1 fanatic why most of the teams have gone with the penis whereas Ferrari hasn't? Simply because there's more than one way to skin a cat. The rules say the nose must be no more than a certain height from the ground but the car goes faster (for various boring reasons) when the nose is higher off the ground. Therefore they've kept the main part of the nose as high as possible and added a penis to conform to the regs. Ferrari and Mercedes probably think their design will probably generate more downforce by using the air around the front wing differently. Does that help or make sense?

I tend to think there's some kind of collusion - like when Celtic and Rangers both released kits with the sponsor under the badge rather than across the chest. So if half a dozen teams think - oh, this phallic look is the way to go - then Ferrari go and do something radically different, I tend to think one is correct and one is wrong.
