Lotus have something similar, you couldn't have something exactly like the Williams had though as the nose itself needs to be further forward and lower down to comply with the regulations.

Whitmarsh to Lotus?
Biggest cocknose so far?
That one even looks like it's had a condom put on ffs.
Red Bull seems to look decent. Avoided cocknose syndrome
That's by far the most phallic one so far. I bet the underside has a banjo string and a vein. Whoever designed it is trying to tell the world something fabulous.

Hideous, but im half expecting something similar from Newey for some reason.
Merc have gone with a Ferrari style hoover-nose by the looks of it -
Camera mounts look very illegal to me.

god, some of the noses on the cars looks laughable this season.
New Mercedes:
Best looking car this season.
It's a toss up between that and the Sauber.
lets see how they fare against others.
Best looking car so far for me.
At this point, Lewis is like the official crash test dummy of F1.
Front wing failed on the straight.

Bloody hell, that could have been nasty.
That can't be for real? 
That possibly the worst looking car I've ever seen. And I'm including road cars in that. And crashes.
Christ.
The Merc and the Red Bull don't actually look bad at all.
Ferrari really is quite horrific though
McLaren are having problems already. But we haven't seen the Red Bulls out either so I'm not getting too depressed.

Interesting that the protrusions on the nose of the Lotus are different lengths. I wonder if they will flip them depending on (anti)clockwise of the tracks?
Red Bull and Mercedes look good. The others look like a bunch of drunk lads designed the noses after a night out.

I'm unsure about the Red Bull. The paint job on the nose makes it look good in the publicity shots, but we'll have to see if that holds up on the track.

Reading the test reports on sky as I have not been tuning in over the past few days. All the talk about Red Bull being a steaming pile of wank at the moment.

It's more to do with the Renault engine being a big pile of wank atm. You'd have to think that unless they can sort out their problems soon, they may start the season with an engine that hasn't been properly put through its paces and is prone to reliability problems for the first half of the season.
McLaren looks much nicer on track than in the promo shots:
The two McLaren workers, who were in a blue Subaru Impreza, were pronounced dead at the scene of a crash neat their HQ following a collision with a Ford Transit van.

WTF is this monstrosity.
At this point he may as well change the name to wacky races, and allow the new noses to be used robot wars style to flip other cars
I would watch that
McLaren's rear suspension is causing some stir in Jerez currently, it's quite innovative...
Any more info on that? Do they think it will be a big advantage possibly?
looks very different, wonder if an team has complained that it is illegal yet.
I would watch that, would be better than some of the races last season.I'd be more surprised if nobody did.
So would I to be honest, with Red Bull first in the queue.
Red Bull are struggling during the pre season testing.
