    Great postings guys, thanks very much!

    As others have said, the cooling vents are gigantic. These engines must desperately need massive amounts of fresh air for cooling. Heck, I wonder if some of them will retire simply sitting on the grid in 100 degree + temps at Malaysia, waiting for Charlie to trip the lights.

    The V-6 has a more refined, "tuned" sound, which is a shame-very sterilized. Gone is the LOUD, ragged, raw, nasty sound of that V-8.

    Won't know for sure until I hear them all together on the track, but, based on the sound clip, I don't think I am going to need to wear earplugs in Austin anymore :frown5:

    To be fair to the FIAT, F14T (or F 14 T, or maybe it's F14-T ?) derives from Ferrari 2014 Turbo...or something like that.

    Hard to be sure from these angles but I think the Sauber nose looks like McLaren design.

    I think Sauber published photos from carefully chosen angles so I'll reserve judgment for now.

    The Lotus nose looks most interesting to me.

    Of course, I'd love to see a grid full of beautiful cars but function is FAR more important than form and should reign supreme in an F1 car design. Don't get to see how they function for a while though so I'm as happy to talk about the misshapen proboscises as everyone else :D at least until the pundits have finished wringing that subject dry and move on to other interesting aspects of the cars.

    Looking forward to seeing Adrian Newey's creation. :yesnod:

    And the nose looked better for it.


    Or something.
