Iwan Kemp Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 BOOM! The sound of my theory being shot to smithereens... Hehe! No, youre' sorta half right. Maybe 65%!

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I do a lot of work with air flow and directional air flow in particular and I can tell you these low sloping noses will put a lot of pressure in the cockpit on the drivers.
SeaBee Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 There's gonna be a lot of pressure (and in some cases hot air) inside the cockpits to counter that, sk27! From that one short, the Sauber do look better, but the angle is very deceptive, esp wrt nose. It may also have an ant-eater nose like the Mac. I like the vacuum nose on the Ferrari more and more. Well, anything beats these butt-ugly stepped platypus noses of the last 2 seasons. I just dislike the black rear - makes it look like the Marussia used to.

It may also have an ant-eater nose like the Mac. Only other shot available. All will be revealed soon...http://www.autoblog.gr/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Sauber-C33-Ferrari-2-700x383.jpg
Iwan Kemp Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Zoomed in it looks like an ant-eater as well. http://www.leblogauto.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Sauber_C33-Ferrari_3.jpg Edited January 27, 2014 by The Crow
Iwan Kemp Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Testing starts tomorrow at Jerez...seems like a good enough reason to post this:
SeaBee Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I see the STR also has a limp-deek/ant-eater/dolphin nose. Oi... hopefully somebody else will also use an innovative way to get around this regs with a decent-looking nose. Ferrari's vacuum/kiddies slide is the best thusfar. Maybe RB surprises us? Or Merc... can't recall having actually seen their car, just the support message for Michael.
Thorn199 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 RB just unveiled. Also with the following nose... http://thatwildbunch.com/cms/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Old-Tongue-Nose-.jpg,qcda6c1.pagespeed.ce.uIAOaij27f.jpg

Iwan Kemp Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 It ain't pretty... http://www.formula1blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/toro-Rosso-STR9-nose-c600-360x240.png
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 But it'll work and they'll win so who cares. Other drivers only see the rear view anyway...........
Baldrick Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 FIA cocked up big time with the rules this year. I understand what they wanted, but left a huge hole in the interpretation of the nose profile. That Red Bull is just butt ugly.
Mr X Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 It ain't pretty... http://www.formula1blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/toro-Rosso-STR9-nose-c600-360x240.png Seb will have to give this car a boy name, a girl name would just be too weird. Baldrick 1
