Nice pictures! It really is nice to see the W03's attention to detail compared to last year's W02.

That's true. At least that's a step forward from both W01 and W02.

There are visible DDRS tubes in the broken nose. Kudos to MSC!

Nice view of how the plank step in the floor has a curved surface to the main floor. On most cars it's more angular.

brilliant photo, as usual, from you. Thanks!

What do you exactly mean by "curved" and "angular"?

From my sight, it seems the skidblock(step plane) is "raked" against the reference plane, ie, have an inclination to it.

So plain in comparison to the RB8 floor.

The join between the step in the floor and the rest of the floor is very curved. Some are more of a right angle and Ferrari used to have 2 steps.

interesting/funny (?) to see that MSC, still seem to have/see a need/benefit/liking for a watch in his cockpit.
Something "sentimental" in the high tech world of F1?

Reminded me of a comment made by Coulthard. While on Q2 Di Resta asked how much time was left, during actual cornering.

Coulthard said that he used to keep a stopwatch on his cockpit so he could now how much time was left, without having the trouble of asking the pits and reducing focus.

There are some things that need not be complicated at all, even though it's F1.

It shows that air comes from the front hole in the nose to the wing,.....a.k.a passive front wing blowing as well =D>

How does it show that, also that is illegal...

Good picture of their floor. As one mentioned before it's plain in comparison with RB8 but I in comparison with some other cars that don't have tunnels like RB it looks thin and it doesn't have additional reinforcement on the rear end as I seen on one picture of Sauber floor.

The two tubes are coming upto the tip of nose, that should for collecting air from the tip of nose

And that is illegal!!! You arent allowed to use the nose hole for anything else then driver cooling.
