Looks like a smooth nose, except for very slight ridges either side.

Looks like they're not running it at full height then? I don't see how that could be. The bulkhead I mean. And is the 2nd pic a toy? It looks like a die cast model

In the second picture tyres have 2011 spec markings..

Yes but it's clearly the 2012 car

High-res

Is it just the low nose fooling me, or is that front wing really high?

The principal use of CFD is still there, though this year they are validating the design in a McLaren wind-tunnel. I thinks it's already known what way they have gone with the nose

=D>

Now that the photos are out, I assume you got a sneak peak at the 2012 car then..

Looks like they run the car quite high

There is a real danger of Marussia not making the grid. The car has not yet passed final crash test and Australia is one of the toughest countries to 'import' a F1 car into. Construction bay has to become a 'bonded warehouse' and everything has to be pristine to get into Aus.

looks like a 90's F1 car...

I don't mean to be cruel but I'm disappointed with this car. To think it was designed by Pat Symmonds it looks more like I designed it. Exactly when did Pat design this car? Did he doodle it on his leg whilst doing the crossword on the bog?

It looks more basic and unrefined than the Renaults he was doing 10 years ago. Perhaps they aren't paying him enough.
