    Anyway I do like the look of the new McLaren. Very sleek.
    It's just an interim livery thankfully until all their sponsorships are nailed on and secure.

    Found this second image of the Lotus. Words fail me for that nose. According to @ScarbsF1, "the two tusks are unequal lengths, longer one forms the 9000mm2 tip, the other is also a crash strcuture, both act as Y250 flow conditioners"

    Thanks

    Yes that nose of differing lengths is bizarre. Its interesting to see a couple of different approaches. Maybe we will even see another.

    Reminds me of 2004 and the Walrus. What a success that was.

    I have to admit, the Lotus looks incredibly stylish and attractive. As to the double nose, I think they might be unto something. Those guys are usually on point and it would be interesting to see how it plays out. At least there is some serious variety amongst the cars. That always makes for a fun conversation an viewing.

    I'll wait for my final verdict until I see the mclaren in all its title sponsor glory. that dong nose is weird though.

    If i had one word to describe all the cars so far it would be "Retro"
    you can't argue with results.

    The mclaren would be beautiful if the the end of the nose was chopped off, still haven't gotten used to it, not sure if I will.

    Just seen this pic, if this is the actual Ferrari I will be jumping for joy that ferrari has the best looking front, this is what they should all look like

    Nice Doc.

    What will the general effect of the smaller rear wings be? Should it just simply make it easier to follow?

    Agree, that Ferrari looks great. Hope that's the real deal!

    Why can the rulemakers not just write that the nose tip has to be a certain width. Then they wouldn't look so weird.

    If your McLaren nose lasts longer than 4 hours, call a doctor.

    When my other half asked me what I was looking at, I joked about how it was certainly a boy car... when I showed her to prove my point, I noticed that the "tip" of the nose actually has additional details which made it even more like what we're all thinking... the problem is I cannot un-see it now!

    Ferrari launch on their site now; it's not bad looking. The drop in the nose does not have such a nice transition as some of the other cars but the actual nose tip is less ugly than some.

    Regardless of how odd some of the cars looks, I'm very much enjoying how they don't all look the same
    "I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.
