Where have I seen that moustache??



















































Oh wait...

i think at some point renault had very similar nose solution. anyway, as the text states, aero-pack will be reworked till the first race

[fpv_gtho]

Renault had something very similar, but Toyota were the first to have the upper profile look as if it continues through the nose, rather than simply connected to the nose.

A few more detail pics of the new car, plus a shot with the drivers (Kimi looking as thrilled as ever to be paraded in front of the cameras!)

Somebody give him a bottle of vodka!!

It's really good looking. But it also looks a little McLaren-Renault esque - the first thing I thought. Not even because of the 'moustaches', but it general.

[JRodrigues]

Hi-res now.

I think that might have been the problem. That's the look of someone very drunk trying very hard to maintain their balance.

I dont think so. Renault and McLaren have noticeably different radiator inlets. Maybe the shorter wheelbase has taken something away that made the F2007 stand out.

the moustache reminds me of the Toyota from last year a bit.....they were the first to have the upper element of the front wing to blend into the nosecone.....

Looks ok, I am not seeing the huge radical changes Baldiserri(sp?) was taunting, but I am sure it is effective as always...

Yes, you're right. The shorter wheelbase. But alongside with it the smoothness - Ferraris were sharp before, and now it's much more smooth - the trait inherent to McLaren and Renault (for some years already). But the nose is 100% Ferrari - long, high and sharp.

EDIT: Sorry, 99% - they've inclined it more.

[Dino Scuderia]

Lovely nose.

I pity the poor sod that had to study all those shapes in the wind tunnel.

[jediali]

I think the just ask the clever cfd computer to do it all. The software people / fluid engineers must be at the peak of this sector.
