thanks @stefan_, great photos as always!

Finally new rear wing on E21, at least endplates are new.

Rendered photos from the launch didn't lie

The render didn't confuse us for nothing. It represented the main lines of the real design of the car all the time.

I was hoping for something more interesting of the floor considering that odd splitter support. Keep your eye out.

Well me for me, am buying this car have speed in small details, rather much in big ones. This car essentialy looks nothing much changed on him outside, but for some reason gut's telling me this car speed lying under engine covers. They tested couple of old rear wings, changed slots from vertical to parallel on sidepods, some time spended on DDRS, a bit changed version of exaust ramp, but nothing beside new rear wing and new rear suspension which is not much for eye details, i cant say i saw new on car.

New FW - first comparison.
Old
New

That's more like a Williams FW34 style-wing.

'rexona' changed to 'sure' on the sides of the cockpit...known as 'sure' in the uk but 'rexona' in australia, 'degree' in the states, i guess they'll change it depending on venue.

Top=Old


Second blades (black ones) look less angled than the old creme painted one. Less DF, less drag ?

I still think there is some trick with that splitter support / tea tray thing.

Large holes in the floor around the bargeboard still.

If the trick is to prevent the T-tray from flexing, then yes

They dont seem at all concerned with showing the front underside of the car, interesting.
