For that nose alone I hope Williams lose.

Not really, but it is so ugly :(

The 2015 nose regualtion will make this protrusion a default unfortunately.

The Mercedes- U-shaped structure has been banned as a result of which aerodynamics will push teams in the direction of this protrusion.

A pity.

I don't understand why they can't come up with a regulation that prohibits those nipples/penises extending from the nose.

Difficult to see but it looks like Williams has adopted the W05 style front lower wishbones.

I've coined it the 'nipple nose' Scarbs and BadgerGP prefer thumb nose which does sound a bit nicer so I'll go with that. All teams hold have similar noses this year according to Scarbs.

Last year the rendering on the same magazine (iirc) turned out to be an actual car, which means it's highly likely this is indeed how 37 will actually look like...which I hope not :well:

 

doesnt matter much if it's fast tho :D

Sigh.
Sigh sigh sigh.
As someone above mentioned, a jigsaw piece. It's like a 5 year old played "pin the puzzle piece on the car" and this is what happened.

FFS!

Nice to see a car though.

I was hoping for a slight revision of the livery, looks like Rexona on the sidepod with the number moved onto the bargeboard. :up:

Looks like a nice evolution from the FW36 which as we know was a fast car so if this even quicker stuff the nose.

The nose is not as bad as last years'.

 

But if they introduce new nose regulations primarily for restricting ugly noses, and this is what we still end up with, well...

Good to see the FIA did a great job rewriting the regulations to get rid of the penis noses!

F1 racing mag got the scoop on the Williams 2014 car, so no reason to think this isn't the new car

 

They future Pat Symonds a lot so Im guessing that's how they got their scoop

I think, that it is genuine render and could be real deal. Last year were spot on.

So the penises this year will be a tad smaller. We are heading in the right direction then.

Why they all dont just copy Mercedes? They have proved last year you can have a good penisless aerodynamics in the car.

Too much white again, they need to get better at liveries, nose show the whole nose discussion was yet another futile exercise in getting nowhere on an issue which did not exist.

The car looks good to me, the nose pretty much as expected.

What I can't understand is why the FIA don't do anything about the front wings? I'm sure the teams spend hundreds of millions of euros each year developing these overcomplicated monstrosities that can't be used for anything else. For what? They coud make it a lot simpler, like; "the front wing consists of one a single straight element no bigger than 0.5 square meter". The rear wing could be max two wing elements with a maximum combined area of 1.0 square meter.

You do realize that you'll make the cars slower in the process?

If all front wings are like the Williams, it appears the entire field will be more vulnerable to carnage.

Yup and a lot less aerodynamic grip is only a good thing. Should be compensated with huge rear tyres to give more mechanical grip and create drag - together with more bhp (no fuel flow restriction, higher turbopressure ++ = 1.000 bhp).
