on 2nd thought...i doubt much will be revealed through this...i cant imagine them revealing videos that actually show the car in detail...makes no sense if they are trying to hide developments untill the Barca test

could you explain?

i don't know, but i think if the team doesn't want to unveil its secrets, i hope there won't be hd photos or videos before the launch

Great drawing as usual Yace.
If I can suggest some changes:
-change the FW supports as the guys were saying, wider, more curved
-sidepods in the blurry images look longer and deeper but I think you may have the undercut right, though of course we can't be sure from those pics.

Interesting that the car again doesn't appear to have any turning vanes (I think that's the right term?) or at least only short stubby ones.
This seems to be becoming a usual practice for the team, the Brawn BGP01 and the W02 both started the season either without or with short stubby turning vanes and later in the season more conventional style turning vanes were introduced.
What could be the reason for this? - they seem to be the only team that does this?

Hope you'll continue to give us more interpretations/predictions.

Well well well.....

Thanks for this image...quite a steep step on the nose. They got a secondary inlet behind the roll hoop. Side pods look sleek with a nice undercut.

Very stepped nose there, looks a bit like the Ferrari.

Any thoughts about exhausts? Whats the black area just above the "P" from Petronas? Too far forward to be an exhaust??

Doesn't look too special.
