Well at least if the cars suck they still might have a career in porn after they're done for the season... Seriously what's up with the dildo noses?

Now that's funny right there. And I'm a Vettel/RBR fan.

Ferrari released the F14-T. Its nose is a little too curvy, but not nearly as bad as the McLaren or Lotus.

http://f14t.ferrari.com/en/

ETA: actually, it's pretty damned awful. It has a buffalo hump that would bring a sparkle to Quasimodo's eye.

All the tech people have been warning that the combination of the Pull Rod Front Suspensions with the new regs on Front Wings would lead to ugly cars.

Looks like they knew what they were talking about.

Lotus and Merc don't look too bad. The rest of them are kind of ugly.

Its going to be interesting to see what Matchett and Hobbs have to say about them on the tube.

awaiting merc, caterham, RB etc.

I am convinced the Ferrari nose is simply a ruse to throw off the others. it has to be.

Nothing that can break in that rig.

So no more KERS button. "Driver controlled engine mapping" Oh yeah, this is going to change things. I see lots of attrition and pissed off drivers when they run out power mid-pass.

this is my "bust a nut" year. life long Ferrari fan and now have my two favorite drivers racing together.

this will either be a season of epic win or a season of disgusting heartbreak. BTW wife and I are plotting a trip to the race at Catalunya.

hate to travel all that way if the F14T is a dog.

Same here.

And I don't Vettel to have a bad year. I want my boys (RAI, ALO and the Scuderia) to beat him and his car fair and square.

Be interesting to watch the dynamic between him and Alonso. From the comments I have seen Alonso is playing games and a lot more worried about Kimi than Kimi is about Alonso.

I love the force inda, but the sauber is damn sharp. Looks like it too has a nose intake, or a way for the wing to get an extra airfoil.

The Tomcat (f14T) better be mighty fast and win many races, because it is the ugliest Ferrari I have seen......

this will be an interesting season I am sure.

you're right. good catch.

well testing starts tomorrow er today via time zones etc.

I hope the nose Ferrari bring out is closer in reality to the Sauber nose. BUT as long as kimi or Fernando can win in the Ferrari I may be willing to look past the ugly face on that car.

hell, we all banged a ugly chick who was really great in bed once or twice. maybe the Ferrari is that. a butterface.

F1 should be an engineering exercise with the rules only being tight enough to control safety. That certainly isn't the F1 we have today, but I do love how different the cars are this year after such a drastic rules change.
