As has been stated, the Mclaren design is prob no different, they just have shoved an older nose on it. |

The Ferrari nose looks like a bit of a dented shed. The Force India is gorgeous, apart from the nose. |

The problem then is that it looks like some sort of optical illusion with the nose going behind the wheel at one height and coming out from behind at a different one.
