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.

This car is weird! It looks like the put Coanda pods on a car from a few seasons back. The chassis/nose is seemingly at odds with current F1 thinking.

Is it a new chassis? Or the 2012, heard that they didn't pass the crash tests and are using the 2012 chassis, anyone knows more about this?
Do you feel you can beat the Red Bulls, either to pole position or the race itself?

The sidepod inlets seem to be very small maybe even a bit smaller than the last year. Did they risk some problems or do they have huge radiator with a good flow through it?

Both are slow as hell. No point to try and look cool if you're sacrificing performance because of it.
