Modesty panel is attached via 13 screws, not bonded/glued in place like the others so far.

Indeed ESP, and after seeing the other cars, I assume they will soon produce a nose without screws in them.
Glueing the panel on the nose must surely have some weight advantages.

Unless they have some components they need to be able to access, although I can hardly imagine what that could be.

They're being coy about their diffuser.

Can those rear brake ducts extensions be legal? Don't know the exact wording of the rules in that area...

Looks like a pretty tidy and well put together car typical of what we've seen from James Key designs over the years. The sidepods aren't as small and well shaped as other teams but the rear is nice and tidy.

That's because Deiter hopes to sell the team in the near future, I assume they are evolving a much older generation of RedBull chassis so as not to reveal any trade secrets.

Very clean design. Nothing unique or over the top, but clean.
This year will be very very close.
For Sure!!

+ enclosed drive shaft

looks to be mounted on the brake duct itself. Similar to what merc did last season to funnel air into the gap between the tire and floor

Nice swan neck beam wing mounting too - very long and elegant.
