Most original and strange design in F1 for some time. Good to see, as all the cars are beginning to look alike. Hope it tears Ferrari apart!!

That nose looks bloody sh!thouse but it looks fast!

Ferrari will have a very good car but the Bridgestone tyres will let them down.

I believe the car to beat this year will be the McLaren.

 

[JC-XR8]

It certainly is different - looks a bit stronger than the old noses - might be good for ramming Ferraris (just in case they can't pass them).

 

[Ambrose_1]

As long as they both beat Ferrari, I'm happy

 

[The MaDDeSTMaN]

My personal opinion (your mileage may vary) is that, no matter what you think of that nose - good, bad or meh - it's good to see them doing something different. And you can bet, if it proves to be successful, you'll see it on a LOT more cars next year..

 

[FoMoCo4eva]

the nose isn't that different really. Fro what I can see they have just moved the two pillars to the outside...might be a bit tougher thats all.

Still very cool.

 

[FordHawk]

Woohoo!! Finally I can recognise the cars are different in shape as opposed to just looking like they simply have different paint schemes.

Looks good too, which is an added bonus.

i reckon it looks shit hot tough!!

bout time there was a veriance in the shape of the bloody cars.

cheers.joe.

man thats ugly
worse than BMW's history

Hope Ferrari destroy all those Pommy wanker teams
shame on u aussies for suporting them

 

[Timmeh]

Ah, I love it! Love it! Been a Williams supporting for years, can't wait to add this one to the collection! :wnc:

The differences are that the pillars have become a more dynamic part of the nose, and the nose looks like it may have been shortened or stubbed. Here is a pic of the 2003 launch to compare.

Cheers...... Tim!

Shame on you for supporting the egocentric Ferrari team. I wouldn't blink if I was asked which one I would support out of the 2.

 

[Ambrose_1]

Why should we support the folks from Italy?

Why also does everyone think all the cars look the same minus the paint? i can tell the different between all of the cars you just have to look at the complete car bit harder

 

[FordHawk]

Why also does everyone think all the cars look the same minus the paint?

Because to someone who doesn't follow everything to do with Formula 1 they do look exactly the same. Same as if someone saw the V8 Supercars for the first time and quickly thought the BAs and VYs looked the same. Although with them you can easily tell without too much study that they are different.

They're different???? wow you learn something everyday...the changes on each car are so minimal that if you painted them all white you probably couldn't easily identify one from the other...the changes on the front wing on this car are the biggest style change in F1 since ferrari first introduced the 'wavy' front wing.

 

[Methodx]

umm Mclaren isnt egocentric?
Ronspeak and his black satin joy boys?

Always thought Aussies loved hating the Poms and beating them at every sport, Why then support their F1 teams and soccer teams? When Australia is supposed to be a multicultural country.

The way the aussie media only shows the wrong Pommy view of F1 is terrible, anything non Pommy is made out to be the enemy.

 

[Mr Jucy]

Bugger they've let Chris Bangle have a go at there F1 cars too. Even Mark Skaife would say thats an odd looking nose but at least it is something different I guess.

 

[Ambrose_1]

No thats Aussies and Kiwi's fortuatly for them they have been beating us lately

 

[pauljh74]

I'm sure F1s body evolutions aren't out to win on looks. These cars are designed by computer and wind tunnel testing to extract maximum performance. Not too many years ago the nose sloped downward to meet the spoiler completely - now the underside of the nose is exposed probably to allow air to flow over the entire width of the front spoiler. BMWs new nose may be more resistant to damage - which could be useful next time Montoya has some wheel to wheel moments with Schumacher

 

[seano14]

good on them! that wasnt designed with looks in mind i can safely say. i think its good that they are trying something different.

not that this will make me start watching f1

 

[Bearman]

Love it!! Looks tough and sets it apart from the others. From the side it looks like it has an old fashioned low nose.

It'll create a heap of interest. Can't wait to see it at Albert Park. Hanging out for it!!
