'kinell, but that's one ugly front on that car right there.
Apparently they're all going to look like that too.
I want to like Caterham because of the name.

Looks a bit like a duck billed platypus!!!
Yup, they're likely to all look fairly similar as the requirements are for a low nose and a high area around the cockpit etc etc. So most will take it up the front suspension mounts low down then use the "radius" allowances for the front suspension to bulge the nose up to a second higher level. When the big cheese says his beloved Ferrari ain't a looker you know you're in for some f'ugly cars....
Never liked the look of this 'generation' of F1 cars, and if that's the way they are going, they are getting worse.
Good article about it here.

I'm glad I looked at that before getting new glasses. I'd have to return them otherwise. I'm in pain.
I'd like to post a reply saying how awful it looked
But I've gone BLIND!
Seems as they're going to be near the back of the grid all the time they could have at least made it pretty. Looking forward to them using the
line 'developed while racing in F1' on the 7 they sell
Surprised that Caterham (or whomever 'owns' the name currently) can source enough $$$ for a season of F1.
Clearly it ain't coming from the massive profits derived from selling Cats.

Wasn't designed by Fiat was it?
Lets just hope they stay in business and don't go bankrupt trying to stay in this money sucking sport. Back of the grid can offted hurt road
sales if there is bad press with it.
