Not too bad! Now can we get a bigger version and is that correct?
Ehh, tiny bit clearer. They edited the pic to cover it up but I found the original.

Nice job. Interestingly doesn't seem (to my eye) to have the RW support struts that were shown in the teaser video. Suppose that was deliberate to send us on the wrong track thinking one thing while they knew the reality.

I mean you can see the horns and the torro rosso which was only released an hour ago. So it's 100% the car. The magazine comes out tomorrow.
