Giorgio Piola's animation of what the 2014 cars may look like.
http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/v...o-7913407.html Umm.. I think the F1 car in that animation looks much (much) better than some of the chassis' that will be on the grid next year. |

One thing that struck me looking at the low nose configuration is the effect of that car rear ending another. Unless the nose is completely crushed, it could act as a ramp allowing one car to go underneath the other - whereupon the driver's head would be used as a stop with frightening consequences (!) |

Wasn't the entire start of this thread based upon the fact that it was thought that designers would not use a nose like that in 2014? So I take the car from the video with a grain of salt? Richard |

Several grains, I suspect. But useful and interesting anyway. I'm hoping that there is hope yet........
