Is there something that we should be looking at specifically? It's not a dig, but just a general question that I ask myself when people put up pics of cars.

Whatever it is visible and can be compared to previous sessions. FW/RW combination, barge boards, turning vanes, brake dutcs.

Yesterday they used different engine covers. From this angle I can see Felipe using the one Fernando tested yesterday.

yup like i said yesterday after back-to-back comparison they will elect what they are going to race, now it seems they are trying for the newer version of engine cover which extended throughout the beamwing .............

[smhasan7]

So have they kept the new parts(FW) or reverted to older versions of some parts?.... Latter would suggest they still have correlation issues, former would suggest they're history now and cause for optimism

In the picture above it is the new front wing.

[kebab]

They seem to use new front wing but with old nose cone, the version without the small fin on the side bellow the Kapensky logo

The second photo shows the shark mouth/hole isn't there, wonder what might be the reason?

As it was mentioned before, the duct that leads into the chasis is gone as well. Here is a picture from Barcelona

Here is one hole but diferent than before i believe? I am right?

[muelte]

Closing the duct could be related to rain?

[Goran2812]

how did they close that duct on the chassis? By the looks of it, this is a new tub with no hole on the front... strange... Wouldn't there be some signs of the closed hole? o.O

They use a trumpet-like insert to couple the chassis inlet to the nose cone inlet. So, if they don't need the function of the inlet, they can just blank off the nose aperture and remove the chassis insert.
