Ahh, good ol' Geoff.

Maybe next year in F1 we'll see the 'Hammerhead-i Eagle Thrust'

I thought the guy who designed the BMW M5 E60 was fired. Now he's back? . He's even made the New M5 Gran Turismo worse

and why do f1 cars ALWAYS look nearly the same?

Just pretty much the same as jets.
Why re-invent the wheel 8-)

They must have tuned into NASCAR...

I'll throw my thoughts in as its been a while.
Firstly why do they look the same? Well the FIA have basically drawn a 3D cube working template with lots of little dots in the middle of the cube and said go nuts within the limits of those dots. Unfortunatly it leaves no room for creativity. The only reason the Mclaren is the only "normal" looking nose is because they run a much lower tub and dont need the step in the nose.
The Lotus is without a doubt the best looking so far. The williams is the smallest and Red Bull appear to have a new idea with the slot in the nose where it drops.
The Merc is the release I am most anticipating, they have a new version of the F-duct that is front wing only and entirely automatic so legal. They have the smallest nose point, and also it might just be the poor quality of the pictures released, but it looks like the overhead airbox might be removed come the start of the season and the cooling vents run through the sidepods.
