Isn't this F2004M (on the left) ???

[bar555]

No it is F2005 launch picture .
F2004M had also an underwing that F2005 inheritted .
Of course both F2004M-F2004 had the same nose cone

[modbaraban]

Ok. But it's not the same (the nosecone).

The F-2004M has a very fat one (sideview) - ballast. While F2004 and F2005 (racing version) had flatter nosecones, that's what made me think it was F2004M.

Of course ,
as you know , the front wing is connected to the nose cone end which can be removed easily when is damaged or can be redisigned to special needs. So F2004M (M for Modified) had the same to F2004 nose cone but a redisigned fatter end because of ballast (different weight restribution) .

Thanks for your contribution , makes the post more accurate and i am glad that you are keeping an eye to my work

I think Ferrari overloaded the F2005 with useless wings and other "junk" items.
