    Just need to scrap the hook section completely. It's only there to satisfy the regulations. Completely pointless.

    Apparently it's great at blocking images of appendages.

    It's going to bring a whole new meaning to "Rear ending".

    Is it next season that exhausts have to exit at the rear of the car?

    If only the teams would all just put Brawn's 2009 nose-cone on the car.

    How difficult is it to think about what regulations mean before they're introduced, rather than months down the line?

    The nose is key to aerodynamics, so the rest of the car will likely have been built backwards based on the optimum nose. No wonder teams won't agree to a change now, I'd expect most to have fully committed to a front-end design by now. This is another season of badly designed regulations which give ugly cars, very unimpressed!

    If it was as wide as the actual nose then it would look alright

    Perez takes a firing shot at McLaren.

    The BBC are also claiming his axing as fact:

    which is immediately followed by a perez quote:
    BBC Fail <doh>

    I heard a rumour somewhere that he maybe off to Force India and will team up with maldo <ok>

    <laugh> Almost as funny as Pérez and Maldo as team mates! (I wouldn't mind that, actually. Putting the drama back in the sport)

    If F1 Manager has taught me anything*, Perez and Maldonado as team-mates is not going to happen, simply because I find it unlikely that PDVSA and Telmex would be able to come to a sponsorship agreement. They're both too inherently linked with their respective national identities (PDVSA through state funding, Telmex through Slim), I don't think either would be happy about the other's name being on their car.

    *That is, besides the fact that F1 cars can drive through each other to overtake if the circumstances are right.

    While working out more loopholes in the 2014 regs, there's this framework to work within!
