All have expressed their astonishment in front of the car this season and the curious "noses" fruit of the technical regulation, which imposes a specific appendix for security reasons. So the FIA has decided that it will intervene to change the rules of the next season, expressing doubts about the safety of certain solutions and holding that, even if the regulation is formally respected, it is not just the "spirit" that led to introduce these rules.
"As head of the Regulation, I can not get into the debate on aesthetics. What worries us is whether there is compliance with the objectives of these rules," said Charlie Whiting, the FIA technical delegate who approved all the solutions of this season, including those of Lotus and Caterham, as well as various muzzles anteater.
"If they are not dangerous, we have to live with the limited appeal of these cars. We have acted in good faith, but we are not designers who want the most out of air under the car," Whiting said, adding that the changes of 2015 will provide a nose "symmetric" solution that will eliminate the choice made by Lotus and will be applied also on the rate of deformation in the "crash test". It will also increase the minimum area for the nose, a choice that will eliminate some of the appendices present, and it will be impossible for a radical shift from the wide part of the snout to a fine point.
