Not E20... looks like showcar

Indeed, that wings looks familiar

It's the actual gold trim, instead of khaki, that gives it away.

Interesting view of uncovered sidepods. Zoom and lighten photo!

Interesting updates for Hockenheim:

What it could be?

Probably something interesting Hm, rumors go from "super DRS" to new exaust exit... but i think we will see nothing new, except maybe new front wing...

I think they are going to add the Helmholtz chambers.

[raymondu999]

What for? Their exhausts are quite lift-neutral

What benefit the Helmholtz chambers give? Smoother differences between on/off throttle for the the teams that actively seal the diffuser?

Yeah... a smoothening of the transition to make the cars more equal-handling on and off throttle.

Ok, thanks.

Well, with current exhaust solution there is probably no reason for implementing Helmholtz chambers, but with newly designed rear it could be important. The question is what they've really got in store for Hocke.

A bigger question is whether or not they'd like to try messing with the exhaust after the mess they got to in 2011, and how they've fared so well without it.

Well at some point i think they need to try a new exhaust, atleast just try to see if its better or not, cause looking at the rest of the field its a little like the stepped nose, everyone having the same except mclaren and marussia, and that obv proved to be a mistake, but this exhaust isnt a mistake but i think they do want to try it for some experience for next years car cause i do believe mclaren style and ramp style is better then their current one, maybe not on this car but next year its prob gonna be on every car.
