Another nice video from HRT explaining the new floor (for those among us who understands spanish).
I like to see how open this team is. Yes, they do not have the best equipment on the grid or the best car, but things like this make me support this team.

In Japan they also showed us the Cosworth engine and where are the water pump, the oil pump and the alternator.

On the other side, talking about the car, I looked at the fastest laps from last year's Japanese GP and this year's and it really looks great:

2011:
Fastest lap: Daniel Ricciardo - 1:41.437 (1:36.568 Fastest lap)
Fastest Qualy lap: Daniel Ricciardo - 1:37.846 (1:30.466 Q3 pole)

2012:
Fastest lap: Pedro de la Rosa - 1:39.351 (1:35.774 Fastest lap)
Fastest Qualy lap: Pedro de la Rosa - 1:35.385 (1:30.839 Q3 pole)

It's a 2 second improvement over a year. They may be the slowest team, but they are really closing the gap

isnt the gap static tho ? I mean if they took 2 seconds that would mean they would challenge Marussia and Caterham which they arent, so its exactly the same position as last year, static ftl

Well, they are opened like this because they haven't got anything to hide really. If you look at the new floor, you can see that it's pretty much a very basic design. The same thing is with the grills on the RW endplates - it looks like a hole was cut and the grills fitted in.

The new floor in front of the tyres is not new . It derives from F110 (2010) car , including the new bargeboards since Spain .

they are in the same position as last year, but they have closed the gap. In Japan they were 8 tenths off caterham (quali). I know thats one gp, but overall the have moved closer.Its just unfortunate for them that whilst there car has prob improved by 1.5-2 secs others have improved 1-1.5 secs.

I found the video on antena 3 website, but you can only watch it from Spain and Andorra. Maybe somebody will upload the video like they did with the floor one.

Yes, they are in the same position as last year, but they have improve their pace. The problem is that Marussia and Caterham improved too.

This year's car is not very good, just like last year's one, but, with their low budget, they managed to improve a lot their car

Does anyone have any images of the new rear wing they trailed in FP2?

I have no engineering background. Can someone point out the differences between the two wings; other than the colouring?
