Jerez Testing (finally)

I thought the torro rosso's nose was the ugliest but caterham's is in a different league! What on earth happened there? Are CNN happy with their logo on the tip!

Wow, that Caterham...A new low in front nose design...get it?

**Kristof_F40** · 28th January 2014, 14:21

I'm wonderring, some teams are looking for sponsors, I think there are some sponsors who could be particularly interested in (some) modern day F1 cars..

Those sidepods are horendous

I would think that after 4 years in F1, they will move their design up a bit...

**Nova** · 28th January 2014, 14:23

Actually, if caterham removed the step, theyd have a decent looking F1 car...

It does say AirBUS on the side, to be fair.

**tifosi1993** · 28th January 2014, 14:24

Well F1 ain't a beauty contest.....

**Ste** · 28th January 2014, 14:25

Guess what boys and girls?

Ferrari are clearly happy with the engine and co, because we're looking at Aerodynamics now! First team out with Flo-Viz...

There is a difference between not being a beauty contest and creating something that makes you think you are watching porn. I know that sex sells, but this is overstepping a line. What next, naked female drivers?

Fair enough. Maybe the true F1 car is hidden in those sidepods...

We would start with naked grid girls..

**Kristof_F40** · 28th January 2014, 14:33

Thats 1 for Renault

I agree too,it looks bulky and underdeveloped.

**tifosi1993** · 28th January 2014, 14:40

**Nova** · 28th January 2014, 14:41

Plus 1 Ste, that is huge running floviz this early.

**Hermann** · 28th January 2014, 14:43

If one of these cars crashes into another one from behind, 9 months later a go-cart will be born. If a Ferrari is the father, it will look like a dirt devil.

I am absolutely sure REdBull hides something dirty,the car looks too conservative by their standards,this would explain why Cristian Horner is now happy with the double points thing,they may need time to develope it.

**Ed Harley** · 28th January 2014, 14:50

IMHO everyone will need to develop their cars. Seems that most of the teams have fundamental problems/issues.

**Ste** · 28th January 2014, 14:50

1hr10m left - Kimi heads back out onto the track.

Williams and Red Bull are still working to get the car out this afternoon.

I'm quite sure of that.. They got an idea, but they knew they couldn't get it working, so they are developping it now, to use later in the season.. They said they had more than 1 nose.. I mean.. They built a basic thing which they can modify easily, or a thing that is anticipated on what is to come

**scuderiafan** · 28th January 2014, 14:52

btw I am in awe of these amazing Mercedes engines. Season over guys. Sorry. No way we can compete with the greatness of those Mercedes powertrains...

Oh wait. One has been written off, and the other won't start.

. RBR aren't out right now either.

Maybe that 'underpowered' piece of **** in red might be decent after all? I mean, as Ste says, it seems to have all gone to plan on the reliability side of things and they are now looking at aero.

In fact, that awful powertrain in the Ferrari may be subject to a clarification regarding some packaging by Renault and Mercedes right? Any news on that?
