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.

Call me crazy but I like the new rules. Each car has its own solution. Fantastic! =D>

Wait, you aren't talking about a... ERECTION (Elongated Rectable Elaborate Culminative Twin Ignition Ongoing Nose)??

I also would not look forward to following closely behind those huge exhaust pipes, especially when the motor blows up!

With these new noses, how will the front jack work now?

(last one) yes, it seems it'll get an excellent blowing.

Highest nose until now. They share carbon fibre tech with red bull right? Doesn't seem too easy to get this through the crash tests.

Yes I also mentioned that the gold part is a bad choice. This proves it :-)

But this STR9 has an MP4 29 style monocoque; a drooping one, not a stepped 625mm high one

In the front view studio pic, when you look into the top roll hoop intake, you can see light... how is taht possible ?

you look straight through into the rear exit. possibily the lower part is actually the air intake, or during studio shots they didn't have the engine nor the air intake mounted.
