the nose isn't that much lower this year, its just the top of the front that is. Really if you want to lower the nose you have to change the dependence on the way the air flows to the underside of the car.

- Thread starter S4Sonny
- Start date
2014 you mean
For 2014 the nose tip can´t be higher then the vertical center of an F1 tire. Brawn GP style.
What is now the real reason that we have those noses now?
Sometimes i think they just making rules just to make rules. Every year there are some changes and its always the same who can best adapt to it wins the championship. F1 will really benefit for ones if the rules dont change every year.

This rule change was for safety purposes. Ugly or not, its a good idea.
Yeah i just read that. But the height wasnt a issue last year as it didnt exceed the cockpit height. Why not stay with that height this season also and declare that as the maximum height. Why now lower it again.
For 2014 it will be so cars can´t take off when hitting a tire like Mark Webber did.
2014 you mean
I don't get it. What's with 2013?
There are pictures on Page 1 Scott
Or am i wrong on this?
Anyway here´s a potential look at how they will be designed. Took me half an hour or so
Duck noses will be in effect from 2014, not 2013 as far as i know. Together with all the other regs.

more like late 2000's.
Think BrawnGP for 2014 regs regarding the nose.
Zlep i missunderstood your post completely Yes noses for 2014 will look like below.

Not aerodynamically.
All of this "it's so ugly" talk is driving me nuts. If you want to look at a "beautiful" F1 car then look at all of them before someone had the idea to put wings on the cars. Every car designed after they put wings on it has been primarily about aero performance. None of the engineers (NONE OF THEM) really care what the car looks like aesthetically, only that it GOES FASTER. To me, these strange aero ideas are actually quite interesting.
We are not here to see a beauty pageant, we are here to see cars go fast and race each other.

New exhaust positioning.
