Because it's low/high enough at all the right points...
The tip of Force India's nose reminds me of a hammer head shark :rotfl
EDITED-TSN MOD, might as well just smash that shovel-nose into the wall..
If the nose was done better (it looks extremely simple) it would be a beauty.
i think they wil revised this car
What made me laff was they way the drivers, and stefano et al.. just carried on "normally"
If majority of cars have noses like these, we will have ducks races this year :-(
Sorry for quoting the pic, but I needed to refer to this
Notice the additional space above the suspension mounting. We went for pull rod to avoid using that additional space yet its there. This is something that puzzles me. Lotus and Force India utilize every space at the top for the push rod mounting, while we're not.
At the risk of sounding like a lunatic, I'm going to make a guess that Ferrari is bluffing with this presentation nose and we'll see a different one later on:-G
it better WIN races, and by that i mean LOTTTTTSSSS of them; otherwise what is Ferrari gonna say at comments coming from fans and media, this car is NOT only Fugly, but SLOW too....LOL
hope it's not true and will be SUPER FAST!!!!
I suppose that looks dont count, Right ??......But i have to say that the ferrari 2012 is BUTT UGLY!........but hey, as long as the engineers believe it will work, So be it......
Good luck Ferrari!.....make us proud!!
Well, we said we had gone aggressive and compared to previous years that's certainly true. I thought there would be a few more clever additions to the car but we still don't have new front and rear wings.
The nose, the sidepods & sidepod channel, exhaust placement, inlet to blow the beam wing on the engine cover, DRS now moved onto the rear wing (like RBR). Looks very well packaged.
The diffuser is also covered up, so there could be something clever happening there.
Did Kimi sit down on our nose with a Magnum?
It's sooo extreme ugly that it makes it still beautifull. a bit like the Fiat Multipla :-D
What's the story behind this ugly nose? It looks like all other teams will be doing the same. Sorry if answer was in this thread and I missed it...
The funny thing is the conceptual drawings the car looked far more aggressive then what they unveiled today, hopefully that's what they didn't want to show today.
i cant see the exhaust placement, is it move to top ?

My first reaction.
As Hornet said. Why would Ferrari do this? With the pull-rod they have so much space above it that they could easily make the nose nice and clean. I don't think the bump is doing any good...
Looking at it I get a good feeling despite the nose. It looks like a solid ground to start from, and more important, looks like a winner :)
