That will just be a show car. It's a car put together from random old parts and painted the same livery as the current car.

Just a thought about testing, is it limited to 1 car per team? I know teams only bring 1 car because there is no point in building 2 of them if they are still in development, but would it be possible for them to run an older chassis as well with a second driver? Maybe to collect tyre data? Or are they actually limited to 1 car per team?

AFAIK they could run half dozen cars if they wanted to? Most teams will bring a known chassis, usually last years car to try and understand the tyres better but they'll sometimes bring updates for the new car if they'll fit on the old car or even bring the new car complete to do reliability testing and check the fancy stuff does what the wind tunnel and CFD computers expect it to.

Not sure if he meant at once? Which is no - http://www.formula1.com/inside_f1/rules_and_regulations/sporting_regulations/8713/fia.html (22.4)
 
Not long, I hope with sky, they'll have full footage of any such media events. For the amount of movie I was disappointed with their lack of additional content.
