Hmmm. Seems almost a generic car.

The exhaust positioning looks interesting though.

 

[GravyMonster]

The engine cover looks very bulbous.

 

[Flibster]

Damn...

Looks like they put the 25 on the stage to me, suggests that that article re: a legal fight was utterly made up.

Looks shorter than last year. But then the 2011 car was the longest on the grid, by a long way

Yeah, is weird. Maybe going for it to be 'slippery' rather than used for aero, if you know what I mean?

 

[Glaucus]

I know what you mean.

What is that bulge all about?

Unless they are trying to deflect the exhaust gasses after they have left the end of the pipes....
