Most of the other teams won't see that view of the car anyway...

The more I see that Ferrari, the uglier it gets. Enzo would not be pleased. He would
*****can that design. It must be a joke, they can't be serious!

The ugliest since - I'm not sure when, these take some beating.

Actually, since this is Toro Rosso, that's the ONLY side they'll see. Except for the Caterhams. They won't see it.

How much does it weigh? Maybe it is a handle. but it looks open on the end to me, air inlet? There is nothing on that car that has not had serious consideration. Somebody knows why they look like that, but it is a secret.

It is better looking than the F car though.

Good point. The TR looks like it flows more clean air under the car, where it's needed.

Yikes. I'm excited that each team seems to have tried a different avenue for the aero treatment of the nose of their cars. Unfortunately, I have yet to see one that looks good. Looking at these cars is like spending time in the waiting room of a plastic surgeon's rhinoplasty clinic.

The irony is that none of the noses add any crash structure. The rules were written for added safety, and yet the crash structure is further back, where it has always been.
