Draco-REX Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 McLaren MP4-29. It's got a little penis nose going on there http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2014/01/24/mclaren-mp4-29-first-pictures/ Lotus E22: http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/lotus-e22-886x566.png The Lotus nose looks a lot better than the style Mercedes and WIlliams are using. But I'm not sure how well it will work. Hopefully it'll work better and everyone will go to the better looking nose. For those wondering why the weird rhinoplasty this year, it's due to new crash regulations. The old nose designs were high enough that in a T-bone impact it was possible the nose cone might penetrate the driver cell. So the new crash regs require a much lower nose that extends beyond the front wing in hopes that in an impact the energy will be spent in the sidepod before it reaches the driver cell. The skinny nose and twin nose aren't specific to the crash regs. They're aero designs to try and get more air under the nose than a "normal" looking nose that low would allow.
