Yes, they are!

Nice looking car! The most advanced front wing I've seen so far.

I'd rather call that messy. But, hell, that may work!
Apart from front-wing very basic looking car, which is probably good. Still no rear end shot, and that's where most differences between cars are.

Is it my eyes or are the mirrors on 2 different length stalks? As if Button is testing which he prefers?

Decent car - big Williams nose on it...wonder if like Williams they will slim it down after a while?

McLaren style fairings, but on the inside of the wheel and not the outside like the McLarens.

I really need to see a side and rear shots of the car!

Are those mirrors attached the same as the force India's?. Like the look of it.

Interesting area around the airbox opening. Unlike most of the other cars, the undercut under the intake appears to run very deep to exits a long way back on the structure. Makes the frontal appearance of the airbox to be bulky compared to Ferrari/McLaren.

Think you're right.

Its is a nice design, you can see what they are proud of it. I read it's NOT built to take KERS, so that will have to be retrofitted during the season (May, I believe).

The side pods are nicely shaped, looks like the are narrowing nicely to the back and McLaren esq at the front (though still different).

Jenson looks happy to be back!
