Caterham CT-05 Renault

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

It is definitely pull rod.
Very well spotted, interesting decision considering the apparent problems McLaren had last season, and the fact they've now switched back to push-rod (although Caterham wouldn't have know that).

Those sidepods are huge! There is no undercut. They take us back 15 years.

This is by far the worst looking F1 car I can remember since the Dumbo Ears and the horrible Earth Dreams livery. Actually, no, this is much worse looking.

Just looks like a poorly hacked fiberglass barge. Must be the all times low.

This car must have one of shortest wheel base among the field. I say that because the sidepods are so tall. If you lack horizontal space for the internal components then vertical it must go. There isn't much of an engine cover anymore.

Perhaps the perspective but in this shot it's seems the nose isn't allow a huge amount of air to pass, it's looks like the air is blocked by the nose


EDIT : I take back my comment, eyes are deceiving but it's insane how the air can go straight at the back of the car with this nose.

I hope for them their fat sidepods will not block the air :/
