    I actually think, the darker the car's colours are, the better they look. Look at Ferrari, Mclaren, and Williams. They look pretty. And comparing to Toyota, BMW, Renault...

    however, it'll prolly be wihin 2-3 races when everyone gets used to it.

    That nose looks MUCH better, but I agree that the colors are pretty bad.

    EDIT: I just took a look at today's testing pictures. I don't see that new wing anywhere.

    Notice that the side pod radiator intakes are getting smaller and smaller. Make me think that a lot of engines will be on the edge of blowing up.

    But, it is amazing that reliability is getting better as these things get edgier and edgier.

    Looks computer rendered to me. Any evidence this nose cone is actually fabricated?

    You maybe right here is the link : http://www.ing-renaultf1.com/en/media/index.php

    I really don't know, but it looks better IMO.^, but if the other nose is stronger and functions better and it appears that is the one they are using in testing, pretty car doesn't matter, an ugly winner I'm sure Renault could live with.
