I had another look at the other cars with step-down noses. Ferrari claims this car is radical...HOW? They all look the same...the little wiglets at the sidepods and even the airboses? Also the rear-wings...same shape across all three!!

I hope RBR goes the same route as Mclaren so I can vote for them both

Fray Luis de León wrote mystical poems which prompted Cervantes to proclaim León "a genius who astounds the world and who, in ecstasy, might rob us of our senses." León was also an active man who taught at the University of Salamanca, translated classical and biblical literature, and wrote on religious themes. Twice denounced before the Inquisition, he was imprisoned for "heresy," though he returned to the University to later hold the chairs of Moral Philosophy and Biblical Studies.

Tradition has it that he began his lecture the first day after returning from four years' imprisonment with the words "as we were saying yesterday..."

Despite the ugly nose the car is nice -as nice as an F1 with current rules could be! Interesting the exhaust solution and the radical change in the front suspension. Let´s wait and see how good it is.

People see just what they want to see, they call Macca's car "conservative" and call this Ferrari "Aggressive" when Ferrari is just following the trend and the only "radical" car right now is Mclaren, I just hope those bumps on the nose work like a parachute :P

Kimi Raikkonen: It is the same thing that I said before. I have no interest in driving for a bad team next year. If I race here, I always try to finish as high as I can. I don't need anything to motivate me. If I drive, I drive to do my best and that is it.

I read something and now it looks to me that they are talking (like you said) based on their previous designs and not the rest of the fieild.

I wonder if, as with the skinny rear wing and hugely wide front wing, we'll get "used" to this look by season's end. Hmmmmm...

Question to those who know: aren't pull-rod suspensions supposed to be more fragile than push rod ones? If so, considering that Alonso just loves to attack aggressively those kerbs and Massa just don't know how to drive around them...

Try that with the sound off and let me know if that trick still works ;)

Seriously though, it looks good - in the shots where the front tires hide the hump in the nose.

A fast but fragile car?

Noop. Fragility is bot inherent to the system but to the design parameters. In other words when you design a piece of equipment you calculate the stress and forces and then add a security factor depending on the type of service: 1.1 ; 2 ; 3 etc. The problem becomes when the designers want to extract some advantages and push the system to the limit: if you want to achieve better aero performance with a pullrod you must use thinner arms and then comes Felipe and we know how it ends!

Ahhh, thanks for the info! Who knows, maybe I will even understand what the hell a push rod or pull rod suspension is! MAybe even know what they are used for! (Although I have no such faith in my comprehension skills). Anything more complex than Eric's sketches in MSPaint are well above my league.

In any case, I didn't mean the car as being fragile per se, but, like you said, fragile considering the guys that are going to drive it.

Looks amazingly horrible... but I guess that's because I still haven't seen the rest. If they're all equally hideous that would be interesting... And because I know nothing about cars I always link looks to performance, so Ferrari don't look like a championship contender XD
