The result is however impressive, with the engine cover showing high shoulders but still efficiently shaped to not be in the way of clean airflow. The 2011 MGP car still preserves the short wheelbase that the W01 also featured, making it the designers difficult to package everything well in the area behind the driver., especially as KERS needed to be integrated again. It does however follow the high nose trend to allow for a better airflow onto the splitter and into the floor of the car. The most striking difference is the nose, which has a much higher nosetip and is very flat, very different from other F1 cars.
