Caterham, the perennial back marker have released one of the most unique designs this year, and it only partially looks like genitals!

Public reaction is mixed, but I would like to point out that it is not quite as dongy as some of the other creations. Everyones favorite pit reporter Will Buxton pointed out it looks angry. Team owner Tony Fernandes had something to say about that.

Tony of course threatened earlier this week to pull out of F1 if his team continued to encounter trouble and cost caps were not put into place.

While visiting the teams headquarters he had this to say

"We've given you the best infrastructure, the best potential drivers, but it is now down to all of you to go and do it."

"If we're at the back I don't think I'm going to carry on. Nothing is set in stone, but after five years with no points there is a limit to one's patience, money and motivation so it's an important year."

Lets hope overtaking expert Kamui Kobayashi can help this struggling team to finally score points, and if not, at least help to bring some excitement to Formula 1, even if its fighting for P12.

Watch this thing be the fastest car out there this year.
I mean, the rest of the competition is busy trying to screw each other....

Hmm I would think having two noses like this is against the spirit of the rules. The lower nose helps minimize the danger somewhat, but there's still a second higher nose point right at chest level.

Poor Tony....thinks he can throw money at everything and success will follow.

See QPR 2012-2013 Barclay's Premier League.

In all fairness to the team, Tony could have gotten better drivers. Or spent more on the best lead designers/engineers.

And then they could have been middle of the pack.

I think the early races would be the best time for caterham to score points, until everyone gets on top of their reliability issues.
