I think that might be a gunsight. Are we sure the 2012 cars aren't equipped with .30 cal machine guns?
I'm going to call that thing 'The Angry Duck'.

Music connects people through the unspoken appreciation of something that sounds right. Something that taps into the deepest corners of your soul, making you feel alive. When someone else gets it too and you know they do, it feels beautiful.

The new McLaren shows that not all 2012 cars have to be butt ugly. I don't even understand the reason for the FIA forcing this nose change, can anyone clarify?

“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”
"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"

"Why the change? (nose-drop)
The FIA is seeking to lower the front of Grand Prix cars in an effort to improve safety. A car with a lower nose is less likely to launch over the top of a car it hits from behind, and will also cause less damage if it T-bones another car from the side. Driver visibility is also improved with the front of the car closer to the ground."
Now my concern is...have'nt we already improve the safety to such a degree that this is unnecessary. When last was a fatal accident recorded in the last decade???

actually,FIA is trying to make drivers even healthier when they come out of the car after the race. just look schumi, he is prototype. soon we will have 63 years old drivers looking 32 years old. it will be named "F1 Wellness ". only in Belgium will be called "F1 Spa § Wellness "
