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.

They should have done crowd funding for each country for certain sections of the car.

You can still read the old sponsor Qnet on the wing.

That's an interesting flap on the wing. It's longer than the main plane. I've not seen anything like that before.

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

I did not expect them having such a beautiful car.

I think there is slot underneath that "bulkhead" inserts extension. Could be S duct arrangement?

Even strange aka openings on top of vanity panel seems very suspicious...

That slot is on the top surface of the improvised bulkhead extension. Gets covered by the vanity panel

Yup its is reversed. And spacer is even hollow, silly me to quickly jump to conclusion... :roll:

When you count the short time, this car is stunning.

But will it race? AMuS states that they got software issues (all software was deletet so that the servers could be selled) and its therefore questionable if they can race. AMuS also says there are roumors that Manor could not race until Bahrain.

Anybody got other sources for this ?

That's last years front wing!

the only new thing is the nose and paint scheme. Correct me if I'm wrong.

What struck me is that I don't think they've ever put that through the wind tunnel. I have not seen a part like that. I would suggest that it's not yet been physically tested as it's unlikely they've had time to build a full wind tunnel model and test it prior to the season start.

To be honest, I don't see anything unusual on the wing. It's infact the same wing as last year:

It even includes the uppermost element's slot being taped over! They made a slight change to the endplate, now have a horizontal strake on top of it.

Honestly thought they had a 'standard' front wing last year.
