2014 F1 Car Design

Just saw pictures of the Ferrari F14 T. What an ugly nose. For some reason, it reminds me of an ant-eater (except the latter is convex up v. concave up).

Re: 2014 F1 Car Design

Ant-eater is a very nice animal, FIAT is ugly compared to it.

Also the problem with ferrari that it is very difficult to understand, boy it is or a girl. In case of mac and lotus it is much clearer indecision

I thought "F14 T" was code for "fart". Something to do with the sound of the smaller motors? Smiley

Re: 2014 F1 Car Design

The Toro Rosso one is a big ass dildo, nothing else came close. I wonder if the 2014 cars all have a vagina at the rear for mating. Like you get 10 bonus pts for successful mating in a race.

Re: 2014 F1 Car Design

I haven't been paying enough attention recently, does anyone know exactly what in the regs appears to be dictating this particular design direction?

Re: 2014 F1 Car Design

For reasons of safety. In an attempt to avoid a car being launched over the back of another in accidents.

Some, including Adrian Newey think that the new lower noses will prove more dangerous.

Seems like a well founded fear now that we see the results. Here's hoping we don't see it happen.

Re: 2014 F1 Car Design

Seems like concerns about safety may be unconfounded as engine teething issues continue to plague testing. If the cars can't run more than a few laps without issues, there is less opportunity for collisions.

Re: 2014 F1 Car Design

Personally, I would like to see a rule modification that call for no front wings of any type extending beyond the track of the front wheels. The entire thing has gotten so contrived...and much less interesting!
