I think it looks gorgeous, but this is just a computer generated image, so undoubtedly it'll look slicker and smoother than the real thing. I really like the shape of the nose too as I was worried that with the new regulations we'd get some weird looking cars!
However VJ has said that the nose design was built in a rush and it will not look like this by the first race. They saw more value in getting something on track for testing so have put a simple nose on to speed production time.
Still, if this is anything to go by we're onto a season of great looking cars. I'll be glued to the McLaren launch on Friday to see what they have done (and what livery they'll choose given the lack of a title sponsor!)

It is a very, very good looking car.
Well it was bound to happen - Williams have released pictures of the FW36 and its sporting the anteater nose!
I really hope other teams find a way around this and that the Force India doesn't have it either. Its not great, but I guess we'll all get used to it by the first race.
I'm also hoping that Williams are just showing a temporary livery in these pictures.

Really don't like the nose, reminds me of a bottle opener for some reason!

I'd be very surprised if it is, and as someone pointed out on Twitter, their 2014 team kit doesn't suggest so either:

^ Just beat me to it!
Eww is what I say to that! It might look a bit better once they get some sponsorship on to break up the plain silver, but still....
Sneaky of Lotus to post a preview at exactly the same time! They've done an interesting take on the nose which IMO looks a bit better, lets hope it works for them.
I wonder what would happen if the McLaren had a direct head on with the Lotus, lol.

We will get used to them in time but they are ugly lol.
Not 100% sure but it looks like mclaren may have dropped the pull rod front end and gone back to the tried and tested method. Will know more later.
The lotus just looks like last years car with a new front end. Have tbh I don't think they will be up there this year due to the late start they have had.

I don't like the look of the McLaren but I think the Lotus looks really, really good!
