Lotus just launched its entry, I think the front wings are a bit busy and ugly

Agreed, that is very ugly. Though front wings change a lot, and I would bet that's changed before the first race anyway.

Thing is it will probably work quite well because Mike Gascoyne isn't exactly new to F1 car design.

I think those photos are exaggerating it slightly, I'm not sure if it will look that bad on track but I could be wrong. I do think the cars look unusually long though due to the larger fuel tanks - I know we'll get used to it like we did the wide fronts and skinny rears last year, but it's still weird when you see them side on.

the cars are longer this year as mclaren found out after building them they didnt fit in their lifts! d'oh

Oh yeah, that was quite amusing - amazing though that when they spent so much money building that centre they made the lifts only just big enough for the cars!

but regulations were different and they probably never expected to have to build an f1 limousine and at least they didnt have to use money from a budget cap to rectify the problem
