A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.
Very non-technical observation this, but every year it appears as though Caterham are moving closer and closer to the 'Jaguar Racing Green' colour. They used to be much darker.
"...and there, very much in flames, is Jacques Laffite's Ligier. That's obviously a turbo blaze, and of course, Laffite will be able to see that conflagration in his mirrors... he is coolly parking the car somewhere safe."Murray Walker, San Marino 1985
That's unique so far; the "baffle" / vane in the exhaust flow, the other teams have relied on the coanda effect to turn the exhaust plume, Caterham are doing both.

I hate that green...
The exhaust bodywork is indeed very interesting. That "hole" right beneath the exhaust channel, could that perhaps be a duct for internal air to get away?
