I don't see why they wouldn't use their own nose. It's not as if the other teams are going to gain anything from it.
We have this argument every winter. I can't remember a team using a real image in their pre-unveil teasers.
Perhaps Ron Dennis' famously tight secrecy has slipped and someone has drawn the actual car.... or maybe it's just a typical winter teaser from the PR dept.
Did they run a 2015 spec nose in the Abu Dhabi test with that new wing? It might be a sketch of that?
And we have the same people posting 'that's not real' every year 'that's just the presentation car' etc. It's released by Mclaren so is probably more discussion worthy than the rest of the stuff on here. Sometimes you see true representations of the cars, other times not. To be quite frank, who cares if it's real or not. It certainly looks like a 2015 legal nose and if it's representative of what we'll see then the cars will be more pleasing to the eye than last year.
Incidentally, both Merc and Red Bull used their actual designs for promo work in the lead up to their unveiling last year. I'm sure other did too, even if it was close up of parts.
