Rest of the car looks good, it's just the nose. But it's going to be the same with other cars, just look at the Williams render above.

It's like when some kid sticks a terrible aftermarket front bumper on a standard car, just doesn't flow with the rest of the car. Going to take some getting used to these

Best quote on the Lotus -

Whereas the double penis nose on the Lotus E22 has been designed so that Maldonado can screw everyone twice.

I see Mclaren have ditched pull rod and have gone back to push.
Going to be near impossible to tell Merc and Mclaren apart this season with the lack of red. Might need to get Lewis a sat nav fitted for his pits.

Was thinking the same. Would have thought they'd get more red on there to make it look more distinguishable. Suppose they could be waiting to settle on their main sponsor first.

Yeah listened to all of it. Just a very anticlimactic video in my opinion.
Looking forward to hearing them properly.

Mclaren looks alright to me. Certainly looks better than lotus' effort, which is awful.
Did vodafone end their sponsorship with mclaren?

Try this link Ben

Apparently a few people were having the same issue. Turn it up to 11. I think i prefer it to the V8s. The whistle on lift off and turbo spooling is superb
