Almost all the teams will be using the stepped nose. McLaren won't be doing it because their car last year had a low nose, anyway.
The only point of interest on the nose cone itself, the bump, is probably going to be used as to "kick" air up away from e driver and into the air box. At least, this is the probable reason Ferrari have made the bump full width instead of smoothing it out like on the Caterham or Force India.
What's more interesting is under the nose, as teams explore how much air they can channel with e extended struts... whereas McLaren uses struts and a turning vane... To channel air to e floor under and around the side pods and ultimately to the rear diffuser.Last edited by niky; February 5th, 2012 at 10:48 AM.

F1: 2012 Red Bull 'not as ugly as Ferrari' - Marko | News | Motorsport.com
Feb.5 (GMM) Dr Helmut Marko on Sunday gave the F1 world a sneak-preview of Red Bull's title-defending 2012 car.
A day before it debuts at Jerez, the Renault-powered RB8 will be revealed on Monday.
And the launch of Adrian Newey's next creation has become even more eagerly anticipated after rival top teams Ferrari and McLaren unveiled their 2012 machines.
Like the Caterham and Force India, Ferrari's car - the F2012 - has been derided for its 'ugly' nose.
The McLaren, however, has a sleek aerodynamic shape at the front.
Asked about the unattractive Ferrari solution, Red Bull's Marko insisted: "We have something that looks a lot better.
"Our car is not as ugly as the Ferrari, but it's also not like the McLaren, which doesn't have a kink in the nose at all.
"Ours is just a bit smaller and more elegant (than the Ferrari solution)," the Austrian added.
Also yet to be seen is the 2012 Mercedes, with the German marque's Norbert Haug promising: "The most beautiful car will be the one at the front."

slight OT:
Just visited the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve this afternoon. It's too early though to see and walk on the track. puro snow pa. Sayang at hindi na namin aabutan ang sched dito.
Pero ang dami pa rin tao namamasyal.

Probably number two right now in the beauty race.
Very clean looking bodywork... but Renault has always had clean-looking cars, even when they weren't out in front.
Too bad the dark color and picture angles don't show us much of how the back of the car looks:
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
