I just saw a F1 car, and i can't identify it.

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.

Maybe it's a 125 chassis but eg the cockpit surrounds are very different to that pic, not to mention the FW etc.

I also considered the T-125, but there are a number of differences as Gridlock also said. The tub is quite different

I think the correct identification is something like, R27 tub with aero bits from 2010-2012 cars.

Why do teams even do these frankenstein cars anyway? Those who care know they're not genuine and those who don't care simply don't care enough to be fascinated by it. lose-lose situation.
I was once at a medium size car show back in 2012 and red bull had an RB4 labelled as a championship winning RB7. I asked the bloke behind the counter what's it all about and he insisted it's an RB7 :roll: :roll:
