I really hope it isn't the 2015 nose and just an interim one or something, because this and the Williams one both look disgusting to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moderator MBKF1 91 Posted January 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 21, 2015 I like the fact they've made all the logos either black or white and not used their original colours. That's good. It could be better I think, I really liked a bit of green, and it isn't really 'Indian' this year for that reason! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RevolvingPrawn 1 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 That didn't answer my question Mike :p I thought the rules where changed to avoid phallic shaped noses, not to keep them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The rules have changed but it only reduces the effect. The protrusions will be smaller than they were last year as there the nose must be a certain width by the time it reaches a certain position back from the tip (this point is closer to the tip than it was in last year) and you can't have a tusk structure like the 2014 Lotus had.But it's been speculated for a while that we'd still get noses like this, the rules did not completely outlaw them. They just shrunk 'em down a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chadwick8505 0 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I feel like McLaren just saw this livery and went "darn guess we have to come up with something new this year" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
couger1981 94 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The Force India livery looks great right up there with their first livery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Juice29 0 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The F1 teams are sticking with these noses for a reason maybe because there is an aerodynamic benefit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They only use them to meet the rules regarding the tip of the nose being so far off the ground. It'd be better for aero purposes to have a higher nose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator f1since08 110 Posted January 26, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2015 That looks quite nice, shame they ditched the drivers' names off the roll hoop. Also, I have no idea why they are that big! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moderator MBKF1 91 Posted January 26, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2015 Looks sweet! Really nice looking car. If you got rid of all the PDVSA branding then the car would be purely black and gold. That would be epic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moderator f1since08 110 Posted January 26, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2015 I've consulted F1 Update's technical writer and he says it's either just the traditional engine/oil split or direct links to the combustion chamber @mike96 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
