This one is REALLY odd!

The whole car looks boxy, and well, slow.

That is properly bizarre , guess we'll have to wait and see how well it performs

Burn the witch.

Burn the witch.

Hey! The Caterham may be ugly but there is no need to take it out on Mrs Wiz!

Looks like they just hacked off last year's nose and glued on the new one.

That doesn't inspire confidence really does it ?

Fernandes has already been saying that it's a 'must perform' year, and really ugly Formula 1 cars tend to be slow.  I just can't see that they've made any progress aerodynamically from last year.  In fact, it could even be worse.

Looks like a military design.

If I was Renault or CNN, I'd ask my logo to be moved somewhere else... like maybe onto the Sauber.

The more I look at it, the more it reminds me of a Play Doh Fun Factory in action.

In 1971 most people laughed when they saw the March 711 - the 'tea tray' car below. However this funny looking car took Ronnie Peterson to 2nd in the WDC and got March into 4th in the constructers, they beat both McLaren and Lotus - and  ended on equal points to Ferrari.   

If Caterham manages to get a point or two with their bizarre interpretation we may view it differently. 
Then again we'll probably still remember it like the 'tea tray' as a source of mirth.

Ferrari took a lesson from the March 711. Three seasons later they raced their 312 B3.
