So, what does everyone think. A stepped-nose like the Caterham, Ferrari and Force India or a more aesthetically pleasing one like the McLaren?

Their nose will have been designed in honour of Robert Kubica

It will be a lego block stepped nose, no doubt

It will be black and gold with red bits.

nose not too bad...

Colour scheme helps, but it's much nicer than the others so far.

Stepped nose but one of the better looking ones. Although, McLaren excepted that's like saying chlamydia is the best disease

I assume that's Kimi facing away from the camera. He looks very happy to be there.

Strong evolution of last year's car.

Does not look too bad (helps to be painted black and not bright orange like Force India)
Hope it goes as quick as it looks.

I guess its hime, unless they just got the erk that sweeps the floor to stand in ?

If it is Kimi he's probably totally bemused by the country stopping due to 1" of snow, whilst at home there is probably a couple of feet and life goes on..

At least it doesn't have the Lego nose of the Ferrari.

Kind of looks like he's taking a piss, to be honest.

Been looking at the pictures and other than the nose it looks pretty much like last years car.. same sidepods and floor, the exhaust just exits straight out and looks unadventurous.. as with all these cars this is only the first step I guess, they'll be different by the time the lights go out at the first race.

Can't believe hardly anyone has much to say about this one, Imo the best looking "step nose"car.
