There were just a handful of races where the camera housing wasn't attached to the nose cone in the last few years, afaik. Never during the winter test - I mean no picture evidence, 8-9 races in the first half of the last season are all I can remember. But the nose in the picture doesn't have the distinct shape of RB8's stepped nose, plus they removed the nose tip hole from 2012 onward. No way it's from RB9 - no purple, no stepped nose, a different colored Infiniti logo and so on. I'm thinking maybe it's from one of their showrun cars, though I can't find any pic that shows such way of camera housing.
What does it matter? The nose has no wing attached and is from an old car, full stop. Nothing to do with the RB9, unless they fit it to the tub whilst it is in transit. That would explain the unusual pattern of damage.
Now, can we get back to the RB9.....PLEASE!
