from the official facebook page

the sidepots look more compact and the car is longer. it would be interesting to compare it with the f2012

The rules DO NOT allow any "RADICAL" exhaust anyway.They'll blow around the brake ducts,tyres or the beam wing.


There is no HUGE gain to obtain from the exhaust anyway.

THE WHEELBASE LOOKS VERY LONG. Super Slim Sidepods. Cant comment from this picture but the siepods dont look bad.


The other noticeable Issue is how narrow the NOSE IS. Stepped nose of gently slopping like Mclaren is not possible to deduce from this picture. It's a LWB car though.

hope for another beautiful car

Redundant post, please delete.

Alright guys time to hedge your bets, no money of course only in the spirit of motorsport and ego boosting.

Going for Low Nose due to the possibiliy that a stepped nose with such a narrow ending could mean poor airflow over the cockpit/reliability issue.

Lets get some speculation going before its unveiled!

[JohnsonsEvilTwin]

From the different shape of the nose compared to the W02, I reckon they will go for low nose this year.
Also, any notice they may be reverting to a blade roll hoop again?

And the sidepods do not appear to be totally symmetrical....

[Mr.S]

Low nose IMO

Impossible to say considering from the height the picture was taken from. Could very well be high. Definite Narrow Nose though.

i lined it up with the front wing

its possible to make a comparison with the RB too?

[yace]

no sorry, there is not infortunately, studio photo from the top of the rb

[Schurcedes]

It's not the new car, is it? Other teams did a similar thing, Red Bull used a shot of the RB7 in their teaser.

It's still a teaser, they've kept their promise! =D>

[Leon]

coukd be Ferrari F60, Renault R29 and Red Bull RB5 mix ))
