2012 Formula 1 - McLaren

Nose isn't so flat on the McLaren

The car looks a bit plain compared to last year. No Johnnie Walker or aigo.

I just looked at a picture of the 2011 car, they look exactly the same

It can't be a 2012. The nose doesn't conform to the new rules package.

Yes it does.

Thanks Phat. I couldn't tell from the other angles if it fell off according to the specs.

No problem.

I don't see why all teams don't do it this way. Seems like it would make more sense.

Car really does look bare without Johnny Walker or Aigo on the car.

[Ryan Spaulding]

Johnnie Walker is still on there, just not as prominent as in the past. It is now on the mirrors.

There is a better aero advantage with the "croc nose" than the traditional way.

2011 vs 2012

[Little E Fan]

From what I can see it has shorter Side pods,, slightly different top where Mobil 1 is (idk what it's called lol) a different rear wing, a longer nose and a new front wing.

I like it.

I dig the new wheels.

Here's a more detailed comparison.

Cool shot

Interesting how much lower their nose is...

[ElvisOnFire]

I like the low nose. Looks sexy as heck. I'm kinda hoping that Button (not Hamilton) wins a crapload of races so other teams would revert back to the "old" nose.
