I don't understand, are all these engineers dumb or lazy or something? Why they can't produce some nice looking car like McLaren did?
Maybe the McLaren engineers are in dumb in the end when they find out that Ferrari and others generate extra downforce with this platypus designI don't understand, are all these engineers dumb or lazy or something? Why they can't produce some nice looking car like McLaren did?
Yea Ferrari is. But not Scuderia Ferrari.That's right but F1 is also an image business. I doubt this is very good for the design image for Ferrari and Mercedes.
I know history. MP4/20 had extremely low nose as well as BGP001. Certainly fastest car can be nice looking too.No they are not dumb. There are pros and cons with having a low nose like Mclaren. Just like it is with having a high nose to feed as much air as possible under the nosecone.
They are not participating in a beauty pageant, it´s a championship and the fastest car will win it, not the best looking one.
BrawnGP car was not the fastest car at the end of the season. And it had a double diffuser which caught everyone off guard.I know history. MP4/20 had extremely low nose as well as BGP001. Certainly fastest car can be nice looking too.
Toyota and Williams had DD too but they were nowhere near. And even by the end of championship with virtually no development Brawn won in Monza with no KERS and Barrichello got pole in Brazil.BrawnGP car was not the fastest car at the end of the season.

The Mclaren did not win the championship even.
But tendency that fastest cars are look good speaks by itselfAgain, they are not designed to look good. They are designed to go fast and with the nose it´s up to the designer and the philosophy of the whole design which decides what nose goes on the car.
Yea but they did not develop their cars for over 18 months. I can assure you they did not win the championship because they had a low nose.Toyota and Williams had DD too but they were nowhere near.

What looks good is individual. I think the Ferrari, Mclaren and Force India looks absolutely stellar in their own way.But tendency that fastest cars are look good speaks by itself

You're right, it is. But some of your picks are more good looking than othersWhat looks good is individual. I think the Ferrari, Mclaren and Force India looks absolutely stellar in their own way.

the open nose allows more air to travel to the rear of the car. Low nose moves the air above the car.True, but most of the downforce from last season will be lost at the rear of the car, not the front.
Low nose also means lower center of gravitythe open nose allows more air to travel to the rear of the car. Low nose moves the air above the car.

Like i said, pro´s and con´s for both designs.Low nose also means lower center of gravity
it can be both, i'm surebeauty is in the eye of the beholder my friend OR beauty is only skin deep(your pick)...
