Strange shaped sidepod and nose. I'm not sure if I like it, it's... shiny. Its very organic in parts, sharp in other parts. The connection of the nose to the wing is very organic looking, and the wing itself looks quite complex.

yes... nose is quite short... somehow reminds me of the 94 benetton - but shorter

really? look a lot like on the F138 and the MP4-28 - basically the same concept... maybe it's the shiny finish that gets you there...

It could be the shiny/light on it, it just stood out as oddly shaped in that photo, more distinctly than any others did. The whole car just looks a bit awkward to me. Hmm, to be fair I'm also questioning century classifications so it could just be a bad day.

Is there something mounted halfway down the spine of that Mercedes?

What's their obsession with making the nose so smooth and sleek, then straight into boxy... it just looks so odd from that angle. Ah well, they're the designers, not me, they know better (we hope).

It looks like they fixed the cooling problems as well. If you look at 2012 photos, they had a large black heat shield along the back of the sidepod, this year they dont seem to have that. In testing last year there were burnt brown spots on the bodywork.

the only good thing the step had going for it was that it stoped the upper air spilling down between the front tyre and floor, hoping this nose with its obvious demarkation line does the same thing without the step
