    It's a shame we don't have a love/loathe/meh poll for the car. Maybe we could have one for each of the other cars...

    Is it possible to attach a poll retrospectively?

    It's true that side-aspect photos will tend to conceal the tapering of the nose as it drops to wing level. From any other angle (except from the rear of course) this will be far more noticeable. For that reason, postponing any vote is probably a good idea, since those who like this early rendition may look back in horror at their vote, or vice-versa! Personally, I don't care; I've already set myself up to prefer it over the high nose, which never looked right &#8211; although as is always the case, people became used to it.

    &#8211;And of course, the probability is that people will get used to the 2014 spec' pretty quickly too. I think judgement should be reserved until taking into account the (pleasing to me) aesthetics of a narrower front wing which should lend a much more dynamic look to the whole car.

    I thought we'd better get some perspective when saying how bad the handy-vac/pennis/anteater nose is

    Daniel Juncadella has secured a test and reserve deal with the Force India team for the 2014 Formula 1 season.

    The 2012 European Formula 3 champion will dovetail the role, which will include some Friday practice outings at grands prix, with continuing to race in the DTM for Force India's F1 engine supplier Mercedes.

    "It's a fantastic opportunity for me to learn and will hopefully take me a step closer to eventually racing in Formula 1," said Juncadella.

    Amazing how the photos still fail to show us the all important nose!

    They had to take it off it as the car refused to move whilst it was attached

    So they've gone for the highest nose possible and then literally just went on the Ann Summers website <laugh>

    That is horrific!


    Think they may also be going for this method to get cars in front out of the way

    I think you may have been right!. Literally spat my coffee out when I saw that nose. <laugh>

    Having said that, whilst it's undoubtedly one of the ugliest, it does get an awful lot of airflow under the car, certainly compared to some of the others.

    Scarbs reckon's it will split the airflow more than say RBR' solution, so it's still compromised.

    Imagine it would split other things too...........
