I'm not an expert in aerodynamics, far from that... But i have always thought that the more angular shapes were less efficient than the smoother ones. That was my first impression when saw the new F2012. I think we all agree, that the stepped nose doesn't have too much appeal. But if Ferrari says it will make their car faster then i believe them. And let's all take note that this modified nose came as result of the new FIA regulations that limits the height of the front nose. As for the overall shape of the car it looks pretty homogeneous. Besides, those side pods and exhausts look to be very optimized. But let's wait and see what Red Bull Racing will come up with... I just have a feeling that it's gonna be something much smoother, if not revolutionary...
