Err, I thought they had delayed?

Edit: I guess that is just the design.

Working ok for me, took a couple of tries but got there.

Still under wraps but looks like the Williams car.

Spanish feed seems to work, I'm having problems loading the FIF1 site though.

It's the 2014 chassis.

Saw a tweet from Ted saying it's 2014 chassis with 2015 nose, so we will get to see the size of it's... errr...

Most teams will be doing that. I like the FI car.

Looks petty good to me!

Looks quite nice

leaskovski · 21 Jan 2015 at 15:46

Thought I was looking at a West McLaren then... lol

So basically the FIA rule changes have made no real difference to having an "appendage" or sorts to the nose. Well done FIA, well done.

Edit...

More pics...

OP now updated with images from various angles.

Nice

Much nicer than last years livery.

Image of the car in sunlight, with the building of the track (yes they go through a baseball stadium) that gets raced later this year.

haha that does look a lot like a West Mclaren but that's not a bad thing, I always liked that livery. Looks much cleaner now that they have dropped the green bits, it was just a bit to fussy last few years.

gord · 22 Jan 2015 at 16:45

I hope whoever's logo that is under the nose nipple got a good deal... :eek:

The most interesting thing about that picture is that it confirms that the only half decent corner on the Mexican track is being cut out, like it used to be for CART
