    Looks the best so far. Can't wait to see what's Newey been cooking up

    Apparently everyone is trying to go with a short nose like Mercedes and Lotus have pulled off, but getting it to pass crash testing is very difficult. Red Bull took several attempts to pass crash testing and their noses isn't really short is it.

    I think, minus all the white parts and black parts and those ugly stickers, the Scuderia is really beautiful.

    Regarding Red Bull, that's just their testing livery, isn't it?

    I wished Ferrari used the 07/08 paint again.

    Vettel seems to get along with the car quite good so far, just posted a 21.8...the more I look at the car I do have some hope for this season...They won't be challenging for the title but I think they might well be consistent contenders for podiums.

    Red Bull is testing livery, Mclaren too, they will change it for races.

    It's that deeper/darker red, right?

    I like the 1990 paint color.

    I read this very interesting bit somewhere around Ferrari's new and improved pull-rod layout.

    Probably why the front-sensitive Kimi & Seb will probably enjoy the new 2015 car:

    "...instead of the conventional ‘A arm’ or wishbone arrangement, it instead had what in effect was just a single arm but with a forked end into the chassis. To get the equivalent strength of a conventional wishbone, this had to be much heavier but in eliminating the second arm it removed a key aerodynamic blockage in the creation of the vortices ahead of the sidepod. The Mercedes W05 therefore got to have its aerodynamic cake and eat it, with good front and rear downforce.

    This suspension innovation has been copied by Ferrari on the new SF15-T. Although the car retains – uniquely among the 2015 field – pull-rod front suspension, it has Mercedes-like single lower arms with forked ends. The pull-rod layout already gives a clearer airflow passage (because the lower arms are higher, further out of the way of the airflow coming off the front wing) but with the single lower arms, it’s now clearer still.

    Ferrari’s aerodynamicists should have plenty of scope to place the vortices in just the right place to accelerate the overall front airflow. This should be vital in clawing back front downforce almost certainly lost to the very different nose layout.    "

    Do we have any photos of the Mercedes lower "wishbone/arm"?
