2014 Design

[motorloon1993]

I think the front of the cars will look like a merge between the pre-09 and post-09 cars really, I'm looking forward to this personally I bet they will look pretty sleek.

photoshopped?

photoshopped?

Yes. That was the RB6. They just basically rotated everything forward of the front axle downwards.

Booooooo! I like the high aggressive noses, the cars remind me of fighter jets this year. I still like Lotus stepped nose too.

I'm really looking forward to the low noses, I think the shop looks fantastic.

I think what's getting me about the low noses is that they remind me of the older formulas (pre-2009) and so I feel like it's all being retrograded (along with the v6s). This is different from the 2009 reg-change since that not only cleaned up the look but was radically different from pretty much anything that was used before (with the extremely wide wings and high noses). The low noses pre-2009 were combined with the bonkers aero devices.

I guess I would like some aero development to change up the look of the cars so that we don't see the evolution of F1 cars go from:

You gotta remeber it wont go to the pic of 2010 Merc, we will get shorter FWs that are still being debated where it should be inwash or outwash design and since we get a complete new and different engine the entire back of the car will be very different and may limit certain aero stuff they use today and/or open up new stuff, so we will get a new aero look, im 100% certain of that.

[RB7ate9]

The main reason I used the 2010 Merc was for the lower nose and most likely the airbox/engine cover of the cars will be the same as per roll-hoop regulations most likely being the same. Sure the rear end will be different due to the turbo exhausts, but they're not going to bring back any aero devices. To wit, the FIA initially wanted to remove turning vanes and other aero aspects. The heads at F1 are trying to reduce the aero advantage for the sake of the "show".

I didnt mean aero devices as pre-09, i just meant we will get a different looking car with a different aero profile, as in different in the way air will move around the car and different how it will work the air etc.

I see.

Personally i expect designs cars like 2004-2006. All that cars in that era they had, low noses, with shorter front wing and they had if i am not wrong one single curved plate. So i expect at least that kind of noses, because from 2006-2008 front wings had more then just single curved plate.

I guess it will be getting the air flow around the nose cone rather than under.

That front wing looks huge for a 2004 car or is it just me?

[Blanchimont]

The front wing is photoshopped to fit the 2013(i think) rules regarding maximum width.
