A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Seems like they are going for a pull rod front suspension.

without the front wing down force, this car might actually take off at high speed.

This was one of the designs drawn on here a while back. It certainly is ugly, but makes for a wide variety on the grid.

I think that a lot of teams will choose this solution because it allows a lot of air under the nose.
