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.

There's gonna be a lot of pressure (and in some cases hot air) inside the cockpits to counter that, sk27! :whistling:

 

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.

Zoomed in it looks like an ant-eater as well.

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.

They've released a couple of sneak peaks - looks like it could be similar to the Fiat Ferrari

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.

Seb will have to give this car a boy name, a girl name would just be too weird.

But it'll work and they'll win so who cares.

 

Other drivers only see the rear view anyway...........

What you're looking at is the new Toro Rosso.
