any pics of the toyota new front wing?? manchild help

I haven't been able to dig anything up, apart from this comment "Toyota senior general general chassis manager Pascal Vasselon has warned that his team's cars will feature an 'interesting' aerodynamic development on the front wing when they emerge from the garage in Istanbul on Friday."

and nothing in the official Toyota F1 website

I recall Toyota did test a Renault style cascade on their front wing a few tests ago (no pics) this could debut in Turkey.

Might look like a walrus?

It's probably made of clear plastic so it'll look almost invisible. That way they can make it flex without anyone seeing.
I don't understand why they have downforce problems with that zero keel suspension system. Maybe that system never worked as planed....however, I guess that honda has been the first zero keel car that has won this year.

Honda scored a major coup by beating Toyota to the first win, in the megabuck battle of the Japanese manufacturers.
We should start to see pictures of this new wing very soon, when the teams unload for Turkey.

Thursday in Turkey:

what's new about it????

maybe they are holding out until the last possible minute on showing the new wing

Isn't it wonderful how a team can attract attention just by promising something new and interesting? Honda stole the headlines three weeks ago by their first win in Hungary, maybe this is just cheap publicity for Honda's Japanese rival.
Personally,I think I will just hold off paying attantion to any Toyoya hype until they translate fancy wings or whatever to valid results on the track.

Until we see the new Toyota wing, I thought I would hijack this thread and ask about this.

It seems Williams have some sort of intake here. Anyone have an idea whats going on? Am I looking at this photo wrong? Has this been on the Williams like this before?

It's not an intake, it's the same sort of sidepod-appendage as Renault, Honda, Midland, Toyota, ... are using.
They've had it in Hungary for sure, not sure about Germany or earlier.

[EDIT]
The lighting on that particular picture is making it look funky though :).

But its not in the 'normal' position. Usually they are after the radiator to help extract the air from the sidepod. This looks to be in front of the actual sidepod opening.

Also I have looked at photos from the last race and it looks like this is new for Turkey.

I seriously suggest you browse through the Hungary-gallerie then:

For Honda's version for example: General, Sunday, page 3, top row, 4th from the left.
Even just on this site:

BMW: http://www.f1technical.net/development/14
Renault: http://www.f1technical.net/development/4

Really nothing new about this.

It must be the reflections making me think its hollow.
