It would have been a smarter move to ensure the nose lines up with the rear crash structure.

There's only one way to keep cars on the ground during collisions: surround the wheels (front and back) with bodywork.

Better the nose goes under the car than into the driver.

Thats the purpose.

Not if the car continues underneath, and the car in front goes into the driver.

How do all other single seaters manage. Most forms use a low nose.

There was a rule change for this year and one of the main reasons for the low noses is because of care of the drivers.

The only single seat cars using a low nose are IndyCar, and that's because they race on ovals. Furthermore, Formula One is the last single seat series that hasn't become a spec series... yet.

Formula 2. World series by Renault.
I wouldn't exactly call a GP2 car, high nose either. Although, its not as low as F1, maybe a good compromise. Certainly notan ugly look
