I have no idea what compelled me to do this.

Yes. Yes it is.

I like the way Red Bull camouflaged it with the livery. McLaren, Sauber, and Williams aren't so bad. I wonder if the Ferrari and Mercedes vacuum-cleaner nose has to follow the same "one side longer than the other" rule as the Lotus walrus nose...hard to tell from the picture. Caterham, though....what on earth were they thinking? I'd ask the same of Torro Rosso, but I'm pretty sure I can tell what they were thinking of...

Yeah the RB10 is the most tasteful of the bunch, design wise. Can't even figure how Caterham's design is aerodynamically efficient at all. Looks like a 90's Atari joystick glued on to the front.

Agreed! You'd think that there'd be a lot of nose with a flat lower face like that.

The Caterham looks awful, like they actually just got a regular F1 car and glued the nose on to it

The rule isn't "one side longer," it's a single cross section measured at a certain distance from the front. The vacuum cleaner noses already have a single cross section. The double noses need one shorter so that at the point the measurement is taken, they have a single cross section.

Ah, good distinction...that makes more sense. May explain why the Mercedes does seem to have one side sticking out farther than the other, but the Ferrari does not.
