Looks quite different in the formula1.com pics, might just be the angle that the mag photo was taken at.

Ugliest F1 car ever?

Gross looking thing.

Still we wont be seeing much of it as it will be at the back somewhere.

Oh dear, that nose looks awful. Hopefully someone else has found a more elegant solution.

The FIA must surely have known what the cars were going to look like when they changed the rules wouldn't they? Actually, don't answer that..

I do I love the Caterham livery (I'm glad they stuck with green and gold) but the car just looks awful. I hope it takes the team to their first points.

The Caterham has a kind of 'snow plough' look about it.

Considering that we had to get used to 2009 cars/regulations, which were completely different compared to what we had before, I think we can adapt to anything now.
This nose section may look slightly strange at first glance, but generally I'm completely fine with the car.

Completely agree with that. It's different but that doesn't mean it's ugly. I thought the 2009 cars were ugly at first, but like everything else that goes fast you eventually come to love it!
