A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

When can we expect the first pics on the (possible) updates?
They'll start building cars Wednesday, but updates probably won't be fitted until FP2 after they've got a baseline on the launch spec.

Is it possible to change the nose mounting pins on the chassis?

The lower pins have changed completely, how would they accommodate it on the chassis


Looks like that pic is from last year

It is probably the nose from their pit stop practice (dummy) car.

agreed, that "2018 Australia" nose fits exactly on the 2017 nosecone. See the S duct layout and the pins and the hole for the lower wishbone). Probably a pitstop practice car indeed.

The two fluid reservoirs shown above: Is one brake and the other power steering?

Yes seems like the left one is feeding into the steering rack.

If the livery is anything to go by, the camera mounting position has moved as well.

Provided that both arrangements continue to pass the crash test, why not?
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️
