Lotus's Twitter has just posted this:

Is it an optical illusion or is the right penis slightly longer than the left penis, even when you consider perspective?

I just noticed that, I know they had an asymmetric chassis top in 2012 but that was due to housing the suspension anti-roll bars.

Everyone looking at the nose of course, but I like their take on the rear bodywork as well. The engine cover opens up right where the beam wing used to be, and the rear wing pylon starts.
 
Best solution so far, ugly, but not depressing.

They have a Williams style low rear end with that airbox cover protruding tail vane.
 
What the 🤬 did I just wake up to see on my FB news feed from Lotus and Mclaren? :ill:
 
All the designs this season remind me of a cross between the old Coke Bottle nose McLarens and the FW26 walrus from Williams in 2004.
 
Yay weird F1 design era again!
Now let's hear its V6 engine......

EDIT: Found out that while this lotus has a nose goes in, the Mclaren has a nose sticking out. Pair it toge..... Ah forget it.
 
If those two prongs really are asymmetrical, I'd be interested to hear their reasons for it.

Cars must be assigned genders this year? Must have missed that regulation change.
 
Very clever! Longer is the crash structure, other is part of the vanity panel. Rules only allow singular cross sectional area for the crash structure...
 
You must of been one of those guys that said the same thing when they switched engines to the back :D
At least they switched something related to motorsport.
This year they just added penis in front of cars.
And Lotus weren't happy enough with only one.

Well look at the positive side, this year we could make unlimited jokes about F1.

Nope, it's for giving more pleasure to the girl. ;)

I want the genital comments to stop being funny, but in my head, they can't.

My sentiments exactly. Which genius at the FIA decided that these cars didn't need at minimum a vanity panel (which I have to point out is more appropriate to have on these cars than last year's).
