    Thanks.
    Looks like they're doing whatever they can to limit innovation. Particularly areas that make the RB so fast.

    I have on good authority that not all cars will be ugly going into 2014. Crash testing is going to be a pain for many though

    I am wondering if some of the nose designs will actually be where the nose continues uninterrupted and becomes the front wing.

    So, you're saying that crash testing will improve their looks?

    Actually it may have to. I question how an overly thin nose could pass modern front testing. A couple teams this year had a mess of a time trying to pass their cars, one of which failed a significant number of times.

    Make a thin nose like that strong enough and it might make side impact accidents worse.
