At least they've put in more effort with the lumpy conk syndrome.  ;)

Actually that's not so bad, more of an evolution of the Red Bull style of bumps, still though only McLaren with a smooth nose.

Seeing the other angle of it though it looks only slightly less ugly. Good tidy rear section though.

The 'not cigarette advertising' paint job really does help the car look slick.

Truth in that, by contrast I always feel the red of the Ferrari never helps the look of it.

Not a fan of Lotus. I feel like they are trading on Chapman's legacy without earning the right. I do hope that Kimi can drag them up on the podium occasionally though. The more competitive cars in the mix the better.

Raikkonen might drag them to the ice-cream parlour but that's about all.  :tease:

Might be the black but the nose doesn't look too bad on the Lotus.  :good:

Wonder how many pictures they had to take to get Kimi to smile like that. 

Easy guys - Kimi's going to be punching above his weight, you just watch.   :good: :good:

Actually it was really easy, all they said was 'If you don't smile Kimi there will be no ice cream for you later'!

It was easier than that: They Photoshopped him.  ;)

My daughter Angie has unpacked and started wearing some of her mother's old Kimi shirts already.
