THAT NOSE....OMG.....the colour awesome but that nose......****ing idiot FIA 
Now thats longest so far.
Williams and Mclaren have both a penis nose... I don't kid myself, the other cars most likely will be the same, except for lotus which got a fort cliff nose... (yes this is the official E22). Actually the E22 from the cockpit to the back looks very sexy, but these new nose are absolutely horrible... and I am one of the people that kind of liked the step nose.

These new noses will give rear-endings a whole new meaning...
That one is actually a LADY F1 car

The MP4 29 is really growing on me...... sexy, just needs to be fast and reliable.
if that nose hadn't a ..... (you know what i want to say) at the front it would be the best looking car so farCall me a bit of a weirdo....but I actually quite like it......
Aside from that ugly hell nose it looks good , yeah. If they would keep the normal oval nose from 2013 it would have been better. Actually it looks good that the nose's height goes from up to down. But that "Ant" nose shouldn't be there. It just doesn't belong there. Hope they will fix that during the season.Call me a bit of a weirdo....but I actually quite like it......
But we all have our different opinions.
Think the FIA specified a set height for the tip of the nose from the ground this year. Maybe expecting the noses to look something like the did in the 80's and early 90's.
Car designers have other ideas, they need airflow travelling under the car asap to get the car sucked onto the track, so it is unlikely you will see a full width nose be completely close to the track at the specified required height.
FIA isn't to blame for the look......the car designers are. Maybe the FIA should have gone further with the restrictions that had been set and demand the full width of the nose had to meet the front wing or something like that, then the crazy noses wouldn't exist.
Are the noses that low to help stop the cars riding over the top of another in the event of a crash? Safety reasons?

I like it too! Maybe that nose creates the best aero-dynamic vortex for the turbo. It's sexy enough to make the grid girls blush (more)! It's F1 after all hehe!Call me a bit of a weirdo....but I actually quite like it......
