Lotus Renault, Mclaren and Force India have shown the world what there new cars will look like, in my opinion, these look awful. I think these are the ugliest car designs in the history of Formula 1. The new design of the nose cone just ruins F1 cars for me. Doe's anyone else agree and even more interestingly, doe's anyone disagree? 

All I can do is hope that the F.I.A change the design specifications.

I disagree. Ugliest cars were in 2012. I like what Lotus did to their car (even though I hate the team)

I agree. They look like a bucket of crap, and sound like a dog fart.

Not a McLaren fan but the MP4-29 looks really sleak with that long nose an tunnle looking design for the under body.   But they had almost a full season to develope it LOL.

But we'll see soon enough when all the cars are being tested.

The cars look really bad this season. I think they forgot to change their design from "this season" to "next season" during 2013.

It's the governings fault if any. Bob Bell from MercGP already said, when the rules were released; 'well, the cars are going to look bad, the finger nose is the obvious option'. Teams are forced to have the nose tip so low, but only for a small portion (a 'finger), so they make it as small as possible to get as much air as possible underneath the car.

Yeh, you can't really blame the teams.

I think they are ugly too but if you want a fast and 'safe' car then looking pretty isn't an option.

I like it that for once, we will get a season where you can see which team a car belongs to, even if it would be unpainted.

The Lotus hoping she's on 'the pill' otherwise a Mclaren love child may emerge from the exhaust pipe :P

Ok. They are not perfect.. but the main thing for me is that the front wings are going back to the nose.

Overtaking became harder and harder due to the front wing being dropped off the nose and that allowed the aero guys to go crazy... We got the natural air blocking effect which bought in KERS and DRS to couter it..

So I for one am glad that the wings and nose being forced closer... We are supposed to be watching racing at the end of the day and not time trial laps..

I think that the Sauber actually looks rather nice. I do think that they look better with a lower nose....... well apart for the Ferarri. It will be interesting to see what the aerodynamic genius Adrian Newey has done with this set of rules.

Forgive me if I got it wrong, but do you actually like the new Ferrari? That thing is the most hideous car in F1 history!

In my opinion, the Ferrari is the best looking car I've seen in 2014 F1 yet.

However I haven't seen the Sauber, infact I have only seen a few of the cars, I haven't actually had a good look at te Force India, but I do like the new black colours added.

Caterham was worst of 2014, Lotus wasn't nice either. And the Ferrari from that year wasn't nice. 

In 2015, I didn't DISLIKE the Mercedes, and I mainly liked the look of the Mclaren before Spain and Force India, with Ferrari better and Martini complimenting the Williams as well as ever. The Sauber was kinda marmite, whilst Manor looked boring as just a red and white plain box on wheels.
