Williams seem to have either a redesigned nose or atleast new livery for Valencia

I think it's new - a la Renault.

[scarbs]

At a first glimpse it looks like new colours, as the nose, wing and endplates look like the recently raced versions.

[axle]

New paint job only IMO.

[boci]

They might have painted it black to show their concern about the tragedy that befell Madrid this week

BARGEBOARDS DETAILS


1. Small barge board in front of the main one connected to the protruding horizontal turning vane
2.Guide vanes
3. Three elements are kept together by two horizontal edges that split the airflow into three portions, all directed outwards to reduce the turbulence generated by the front wheels and to increase the airflow, and hence downforce, underneath the car

There is a cost to every modification - the gains must out perform the losses for the part to go on the car.
