It looks really fast. I see they're not using the forward facing exhaust though.

LOVE it! Watched the reveal this morning and was really impressed with how this car turned out... definitely worth the wait!

It looks soooo sleek without the center fin and the engine intake is interesting too. The front wing is also nicely modified over last year's design.

It's such a departure from the Red Bull design that it'll really be interesting to see the two teams go at it this year.

I'm loving the sidepods. I think that will be a huge part of their aero package this year that other teams may try to copy. I also noticed that they don't have the little fins on the front of the nosecone that every other team seems to be running.

They also didn't do the Newey high pointy nose cone.

They stayed with the low rounded nose cone.

if that's an accurate representation then the macca will be more stable due to the longer wheelbase, i doubt the regs would allow such a big difference though. must be an error.

The MP4-25 was a bit longer than the F10 last year. The size of the tires seem to be the same.
