Better then what it's now.

Better then what it's now.

actually, i don't agree. i think how it's now has something special over it. it looks rediculous and extreme,
i like that! it looks mean and ready to fight. awesome!

[turbof1]

It's a thing of taste of course. For me it just looks mangled the way it is now.

To be honest, it looks a far more elegant solution than we've seen from anyone else or even other proposals. It might not be pretty, but it's probably going to be one of the best lookers on the grid at this rate. They may as well show it off

someone should email that to mclaren, and ask them to paint it that way

it looks like mp4-21

That looks much better with the blacked out part.

Obviously the wang rounded shape must be optimal, but why then where there never any wang shapes before when the nose rules where similar? Like on the failed 18 (which might be understandable that they didn't copy) and the 22 which was pretty good.

Well the McLaren is the best looking so far out of the 3 cars we have seen, I'm guessing McLaren will make the best job with the aesthetics as they have for in previous years, although I have a feeling Ferrari might have a better looking nose because they were pretty handy with low noses.

I like it how it is, it looks like a big scary mouth. The painted version makes it look too thin.

sidepods do look huge actually....makes it a bit ugly to be honest......wonder how that'll advance as does the nose when the season starts in AUS. Wondering too if the livery will get some red in the end?

The fairing is not 'cause there's too much distance?

Does anybody know what's going on at the bottom parts of the sidepods' air intakes?
Do you think it's there for aero reasons or just to cover up some secrets from the competition?

an overview













comparsion 28 vs 29 http://www.marca.com/2014/01/24/multime ... 70282.html

[McMrocks]

IIRC the 28 had also a small duct at bottom of the sidepod. Some explained it with cooling the ECU and/or cooling other electric components

[gary123]

from this view we can clearly se the rear suspension.
Edit: Can they cover the arms of the suspension? So they can simulate a beam wing.
