Best of the noses so far; almost a throwback to the Patrese/Mansell era if the front wing was slightly further forwards.

Well spotted Jonny on the revert to pushrod, didn't expect that.

That Marca? If so, then take it with a large pinch of salt as that publication is almost as bad as the Italians and they generally pluck shite out of their arses; that and they tend to pinch other peoples work   
 
Although it does look really good but i'd be very surprised if it ends up like that. 
 
 
Talking about engine noise, i'm still not convinced; technically i think the new turbo's are brilliant but aurally i think they sound cack - far too raspy for my liking. 
Now V12/V10's......

Aye saw that Scarbs tweeted that after I posted. I imagine they'll have the finger nose anyway.  
 
Mclaren is growing on me, though there's no doubt it would look infinitely better if the rules didn't allow for these noses. That said, Mclarens always look stunning, just they don't always go how they look.

Hard to tell but it might look as if they went with a steep slope to nose, similar to the Ferrari. Roll on the 28th.

What possible aerodynamic benefit can the cunt/double cock design on the Lotus nose have? 
 
The comment about Maldonado fucking everyone twice is gold tho.

get more channelled air under  the diffuser 
 
why they are different lengths i dont know, presumably it causes less drag to have one leading edge that two

Rules stipulate that you have a single point, different length 'tusks' gets around it. 
 
Not sure there's any advantage of going the twin 'tusk' approach although i've yet to read any of the analysis articles (have a look at ScarbsF1 or SomersF1 twitter/websites). 
 
 
Sauber was suppose to get launched today but they're either pissed at someone leaking the (two) photos or they couldn't afford for the photographer to take some more angles

Sauber Nose seems to be the same/similar shape as the Williams render a couple of pages back - can see the crease curve along the edge of the Nose.

There isn't a clean frame but one does make it look like the W05 has a Ferrari-esque 'hoover' type nose; hopefully that isn't the case

It's going to be absolutely hilarious if one of the cock nose cars rear ends another car & the cock goes up the exhaust of the other car
