Damm who invented plastic foil???

[raymondu999]

that doesn't even look like a monocoque/chassis mockup to me

Looks like maybe just a mock cockpit and the detachable headrest bit? Which; let's face it; is the crucial bit for a seat fit.

That looks like a normal monocoque (tub) without the padding and the engine. Nothing more than what's needed for a simple seat fitting.

Paul di Resta has also said the seat fit happened in what looked like a carbon bathtub - not much else.

-Very slim sidepod, huge undercut
-Ditched the snow-plough
-All new front-wing
-A monkey seat above the beam wing

Looks like FI already put the final updates on the car

I never thought I'd say this about an FI, but at least it is better looking than the Ferrari ...

[Mr.S]

The nose is similar to the type in Carteham & Ferrari. Only Mclaren looks to have gone a different route. Dont know how it will go. With so many teams going this way,I think this ugly broken version could be more efficient.

Need more pictures,especially of the rear & to check the sidepods.

I love the sidepods damn neat and the under cut is really big and hammerhead is well plain ugly

Jesus..these cars are terrible.

Hope to see some nosecone redesign soon..

Like that bumping strip on the nose...

Sorry mate. The nose looks very ugly on FI as well. I guess with the current rules,that is the way to go.

A lot of sharp/squared angles on this car, don't they know about ellipses?


Those cameras are gonna take a beating in the midfield!

[Raptor22]

looks like what you'd get if you crossed a crocodile with Capt Haddock (tintin fame)...

I'm sure these new front ends will grow on one.......just like fungus

[Mr.S]

Gary Anderson said this is the best car so far of Ferrari,Mclaren & Carteham. I think its a good car & will be a solid Mid-field car. Might even challenge Renault.

The side-pods looks very slim from what I can see in the picture. Lovely Side-pods. I think all teams will experiment with different exhaust positions throughout the test so I would not look too much into that
