Complaints about the strange design " nose " F1 is considered to reduce the aesthetic is not only expressed by the driver and fans , but also the designers . New regulations in the 2014 season the FIA made a design expert " forced" to prefer the function rather than appearance . However , the F1 competition organizers agency said it would " soften " in the spring of 2015.
FIA himself doubting the significant impact of this design solutions to security . It is said , the team has followed the provisions , but slightly shifts the spirit of F1 . " As regulators , we can not determine how the ' nose ' is supposed to look good in terms of aesthetics . Thing we noticed , if they fulfill the whole purpose behind this decision , " said Charlie Whiting , the FIA Technical Chief , told Auto Motor und Sport , Wednesday ( 02/12/2014 ) .
Whiting has passed all design cars for 2014 , including style " fork " of Lotus and the " nose " double the Caterham . " As long as they are not harmful , we have to accept the look of their car . We strive to provide the best , but still we are not designers . Teams want the freedom to enter the air under the car , " said Whiting .
But in between all that , the FIA bit " frustrated " with the way the team manipulate the structure to meet crash test safety elements , and also about the rules " nose " to be short . So , the next season , Whiting changing the rules to provide that the design of the "nose " should be symmetrical . The rule also applies to the current rating crash test car deformation .
" These new regulations will prevent the replacement of the radical ' nose ' becomes wider , or become extremely thin , " added Whiting .
