So that's the reason

Apparently, the reason one of the E22's noses is longer than the other is to get around some rule. You can only have one nose, however I think Lotus gets around this by making the nose 50 mm behind the right nose.

Edit: Oh yeah Boullier left. My favorite F1 team's future really doesn't look bright....

Edit 2: Racecar Engineering also understands from sources within the team that the E22 has a ver clever mechanism for transmitting torque from the power unit to the transmission, which offers much greater performance than others seen by some team suppliers.

You just know someone at McLaren is getting yelled at for not thinking of this.

The thought warms my heart.

I don't follow F1 closely enough to memorize what drivers moved to what teams for '14, but I know enough to recognize that PDVSA sponsorship means Maldonado now drives for Lotus.

That's right. Grosjean and Maldonado in Lotus '14

It's definitely a creative way to circumvent the rules, but how does having two noses give an advantage in the first place?
