Ewww she's ugly!

So far we have had flacid appendages

 

Now its the Lotus Prong

[techieboy]

The Lotus uneven prong. Does it change depending on the number of left/right hand corners on the circuit?

One longer that the other...

its as happy as a dog with two dicks

Other way to think of it is lotus won't be testing until the second test, so releasing images of that nose at this point might just be a dummy move to sap resource from other manufacturers.

I think the Lotus is pulling our plonker   15.4.3 An impact absorbing structure must be fitted in front of the survival cell. This structure need not be an integral part of the survival cell but must be solidly attached to it. No part of this structure may lie more than 525mm above the reference plane. It must have a single external cross section, in horizontal projection, of more than 9000mm² at a point 50mm behind its forward-most point. Furthermore : a) No part of this cross-section may lie more than 250mm or less than 135mm above the reference plane. The centre of area of this section must be no more than 185mm above the reference plane and no less than 750mm forward of the front wheel centre line.

That's why one is longer than the other, only the longest one counts as the single external cross section.

At least they can sell of their vast reserves of garlic butter now Eric has gone.

Secondary point, size of the side pods on the Lotus are much smaller than the McLaren, meaning, as before, Renault engined cars will generally have less drag.

We all seen and heard the Merc fly by at silverstone today? Nico at the wheel.

I say double the prison sentence for Bernie, for the double points finish nonsense.

Ok, that's the ugliest car on the grid by some margin, so far. Think they might need to employ Armani to tailor a new suit for it.

The "bulge" between nose and driver remind me of:
