Formula 1 - 2014 Season

Dude seriously... The Merc has the same nose as the Ferrari and the only reason why the Sauber might not look that ugly is because they didn't release any photo's where you can clearly see the nose. It has the same penis nose as all other cars except for the Ferrari, Merc and Lotus thus it is equally ugly as those cars.

The new Caterham is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

Sorry but no.

The dildo-noses are clearly worth it

Also, new Ferrari seems to have some drug-problems

My top 3 for car aesthetics;

1- Mclaren
2- Mercedes AMG Petronas
3- Sauber

But even they could use some work.

Can't wait for the new season to begin. I have to admit maybe Caterham are on to something..

The Force India made me laugh.. there is ugly and then there is f-ugly!

The more angles you see from the Ferrari the more ugly it looks. The reason that the Merc looks good, and the Ferrari look bad is the Merc is basically using a single angle on the slope, where the Ferrari is all over the place.

As for the Caterham, I'm pleased they have gone this aggressive. Yeah, its ugly, but at least they haven't pussyfooted around the rules; its aggressive, its out there and I hope it works for them.

One thing that I haven't quite figured out (even with all the articles explaining it) is why all the "anteater" solutions need to protrude ahead the front wing edge while those with low noses (Merc and Ferrari) start at or after the leading edge of the front wing. [Edit] Seems the Caterham nose start pretty close to the wing edge as well.

 

[DJ12]

In theory is to stop cars going up in the air when they rear end another car which has happened once or twice recently. Newey seems to think they've solved one problem with another though so who knows. He believes the car being hit could be lifted now.

 

[Dave Baumann]

I know the reasoning behind the rule changes and what the FIA want to get from this change, but thats not explaining why most of the "anteaters" are well ahead of the front wing, while the full low nose solutions start at or behind the front wing edge.

 

[Colourless]

A lot of the new noses seem like they've attempted to do something as similar as possible as last year and then just extending it to meet the regulations with a long narrow bit in the front.

I'm sorry but it's 95% the same. That small difference in the slope doesn't suddenly make the Merc good looking and the Ferrari ugly. I doubt you can see a real difference when the cars are racing.

 

[DJ12]

That 5% is the ugly bit. We aren't calling Alonso ugly just the car he's going to drive so don't get defensive about it

 

[tongue_of_colicab]

Thats like saying this girl you know makes you want to vomit even though she only looks 5% different from the most beautiful woman you know.

 

[DJ12]

No it's like saying the girl with the bent nose is more ugly than the girl who's nose is just a touch unpleasant

 

[tongue_of_colicab]

Fair enough. But the girl with the bent nose is still better looking than the girl with a penis attached to her face.

 

[Phil]

I kinda like the bent nose of the Ferrari. Kinda like a SU-27 that reminds me of a Klingon warbird. The uglyness has something rather nice about it.

 

[DJ12]

So red bulls ers has packed up already after 8 laps. Who is surprised lol if it fails as much as their kers they are done for this year.

I'm sure I've seen that on a website somewhere...
