This is by far the prettiest of the 2012 models.

I for one hope it pays off in dividends for the team. Ricciardo and EV might have a winner on their hands.

Best handling of the awkward nose rules as well

The fact that something like that nose can pass the impact tests is a testament to the engineers!

The attachment of the sidepods to the tub right below the intakes is an interesting piece. Seems to bulge out a bit more than the lines drawn by the rest of the undercut.

ImageWhat is this opening just ahead of the rear wheel in the floor?Image


Is it drawing air from one side of the floor to the other? conditioning airflow?

I'm pretty sure those things are tyre temperature sensors.

He was surely talking about the hold behind that is on the background of the wheel so at its left on this 2D picture.
I think it's starter hole but... damn, that's a huge one!

Apologies for the lack of clarity in my previous post, also if it is something as simple as a temp sensor.
