The pic is big so I'll just post the link.
In whitch the B spec car that was used from Valencia onwayd did not have so pronounced, as what the F10 has. Also the Williams FW31 had a simmilar sort of thing on its launch spec car, then was ditched for the first third of the season in 09, then re apperared for the rest of the season in a truncated form hybrid with the other less pronounced version but was excluded for the high speed races that needed less drag.
One major part of the car that will be developed is the high nose concept, altho Ferarri need to get a new front wing for it as it looks to be the one that finished the season.
