I think the Force India nose is the best yet, except for the McLaren.

Maybe they should pay a bit more attention to speed rather than looks.
It's just it didn't have quite the all-round balance of Newey's design, which when married with Vettel's frontrunning ability meant they were often playing catchup in races. |

Mclarens have always produced good looking cars. Pity they just aint fast enough. Maybe they should pay a bit more attention to speed rather than looks.

Yes, but you don't really think they're paying more attention to looks than speed do you? That's just silly.
The looks are a simple by-product of their design. |

Nah, wasn't that obvious at the time. Hard to detect. Especially on a place like ds where people genuinely do have silly opinions like that.

I'm hoping McLaren have got both this year. Oh, and the BBC F1 site blogs are annoying me more so with the Sky haters saying it's all doom and gloom. Especially when most of them had the cheek to defend ITV's diabolical coverage with interruptive ads just to save grace of the Sky deal.

Bit harsh maybe, considering the McLaren clearly was designed for speed - and it was actually faster than RedBull in certain tracks (certainly in straight line speed) - and was way better than the rest of the field.
![]() ![]() ![]() Anybody can be fast the trick is to be quick. McLaren should know this by now. There new car looks ordinary. The Ferrari is not the best looking but clearly functional. Likely another poor year from McLaren with poor performances from Lewis. Supposed to be keeping his nose clean and already his only friend in F1 is calling him a coward not and man isn’t his friend anymore. All before Lewis starts crashing in to people. |

I understand that one part in isolation doesnt tell the whole story, and you have to look at the car as a whole, to see how the aero parts work together. If I was a team that hasnt used the stepped nose, I would be doing some frantic testing to make sure there was something I hadnt missed. |
