2012 Ferrari F12

[Dmitry Zaharov]

While surely worst ever looking formula 1 car, did somebody noted pull-rod front suspension? I think it's first pull-rod front suspension car since 2001 Minardi.

 

[Victor Ivanov]

I think RB had a pull-rod last year but only in the rear.

 

[David Carter]

Oh god, Force India have done the same stupid nose

 

[zlep]

This is ridiculous. I want to skip to Saison 2013.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

I think RB had a pull-rod last year but only in the rear.

I think only two teams last year ran with push-rod, not sure though.

car looks very nice..and i especially like the nose.. very intimidating and very different from what we are used to

 

[Hampus Andersson]

I think the nose looks better then the last two years, last year was horrible.

the rims are just so gorgeous!

EDT: Next to the Mclaren,

Nikolas Tombazis - Chief Designer

Pat Fry - Technical Director

Luca Marmorini - Head of the engine and electronics department

This is how things happened, if you look careful at the car:

They had a lot of work in the rear, then they get tired and think:

"Let's finish this quickly!"

And they just pick the front from a Lego car

 

[Alex Avdyushin]

Yuck Definitely not a looker

Hopefully Red Bull will go the McLaren way but I suppose not. McLaren will probably be the only car on the grid with a good looking nose.

 

[James Chant]

Look how far forward the front wing goes compared to the Mclaren!

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Look how far forward the front wing goes compared to the Mclaren!

It´s an illusion i think. If you mean the tip of the nose vs the leading edge of the front wing.

 

[ufunacaoenn]

Hahaha, Nikos Tombazis sounds 100% like a greek trying to speak english.
The car doesn't looks quite wierd IMO. (quite aggresive on the edges should I say)

 

[Alberto Casado]

Suddenly, the Caterham doesn't look quite so ugly.

Being ugly as hell, at least the caterham and the FI _try_ to smoothen some edges. But this one is just sharp corners.

From the creators of 80's volvo... we present... ferrari F1 2012: The shoebox.

 

[GAIAjohan]

Hmm, I think it's interesting that until now McLaren is the only one with a normal nose.

Might they have THE solution, or are they some steps behind?

 

[S4Sonny]

Clearly they got lazy while waiting for the pizzas so they decided to base the car off this.

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

Awww yeah. Still got one of those on my shelf! Stickers are peeling off from age, but the car's holding its own.

[Ivan Mills]

the tip of the nose reminds me of a viper bearing its fangs...definetely liking it
