I know why Bernie went with this design package: his nose looks like the new RedBull nose.

So it looks like Toro Rosso have taken inspiration from our sex toy collections #collaborationopportunity pic.twitter.com/EpqookmuwJ

If it weren't for the noses these cars would be very nice, hopefully the people within the FIA who make these regs grow a brain for 2015.

It's a requirement to be in the FIA you must not have a brain or any common sense. Rolling Eyes

I'm itching for tomorrow! Looks like the Merc may have the same Beluga body as the Ferrari

Just over 12hrs (7.30 UK time) until the W05 launches. From this, it looks like the W05 may have a Beluga body like the Ferrari... Here’s one last teaser for those feeling a bit ‘nosey’ #W05sup pic.twitter.com/tbdyBgUFHB

so the Ferrari and Merc are the only two teams that seem to have gotten it right so far?
Merc is easily the best looking with Ferrari just behind
I loved Jake Sanson's comment on facebook for those who missed it;
Oh dear. It would appear that Formula 1 in 2014 will be brought to you by the letters S and M......
followed by my comment: The drivers even get tied up while doing it....

RedBull got it good to

The RB10 also has a 'penis nose'. But it is much better masked using black paint for it.

Force India have cleverly used paint also i reckon as the nose is bad too. just doesn't look it.

still I don't think we will notice their noses at 170mph!

by Ax4x Kane Tue 28 Jan 2014 - 11:07

I really like the Black/White/Orange paint of the Force India

Just hope the aero on the Merc and Ferarri are superior so teams will move to that style of nose

by CredibleWizard Tue 28 Jan 2014 - 11:13

Yeah its probably the best improved livery I would say for sure. ^^^^

Wow, that is so bad. It's literally like they have just designed the car then stuck the regulation nose on with some glue. If these cars just had the noses stop before the extension then they would look pretty good. The merc does indeed look the best of the bunch.

by CQR Myles Tue 28 Jan 2014 - 11:28

Could the drivers try knocking them off during the race? Removing it would improve performance as more air can pass under the car

by **Richy59** Tue 28 Jan 2014 - 11:30

Sky Sports news just reported on the Red Bull and Mercedes launches. Apparently Red Bull has opted to not go for the 'ant-eater' front wing...as they commented on a picture of the car from the side.

by Ax4x Kane Tue 28 Jan 2014 - 11:36

Interestingly the RB10 seems to just narrow into a point. Whilst still not as pretty as the Mercedes, it's a lot better than the rest of the field, particularly sister team Toro Rosso.

Agree, that Toro Rosso is definitely hung like a Bull that's for sure!

by CQR Myles Tue 28 Jan 2014 - 11:52

Hamiltons already binned his Merc Razz

Apparently it was a faliure of the front wing, so far all the cars seem useless, the Merc was the only one that worked so far and now thats gone

The caterham and Force india, have connected their "appendages" to the front wing, unlike the other ones we've seen, so I think its "not as bad as...".
