Whatever the "twitter" post says, the photo clearly shows changed angles and mounting points (height) for the front contol arms.
The W05 had a major advantage, over the field with that front end.
We'll soon see, if they still hold the advantage.

Is this the first time a F1 car has run in the snow since Renault's pre-season testing at the same track in 2005? (Ignoring a few PR stunts over the years, Buemi and Heidfeld come to mind)
 
Same here, which is good since it's the car we'd be seeing the most on TV.
 
I don't know the exact breakdown on car coverage on TV, but I seem to remember other cars getting more broadcast time considering they weren't the ones running away with the races.
 
Coverage has been pretty fair and mostly stuck to cars in the action... unless your a Force India ofc...
 
It is one of the, if not the best, looking car revealed so far. Very simple body with very complex wings. Only thing I don't like is the horn-like TV camera winglets on the front. Detracts from the simplicity and flowing lines of the body.

Yeah but not only during the race, we get shots of the winning car in the press etc and they always make Q3 and so on.
 
I love the body color, it looks more contrast than the last year. And the nose is simply the best looking one. Also from the front view the car body looks really compact and tough! Now we'll see if the performance can match the look!
 
Im going to make a bold prediction, this car will win the 2015 wcc/wdc ;) Im sure no one saw that coming.
 
What a difference a nose makes. Good looking car 👍

Car was one of the best looking last year too, the nose now just makes it look like a wet dream for those fond of the 2005-2008 cars slim noses.

Couldn't agree more. Those were some of the best looking F1 cars ever.

That, to me, was the one redeeming feature of that generation of cars. With the low wide wings and the aerodynamic bells and whistles that adorned the body, I was always reminded of a chicken that came with extra drumsticks. Sure, there's more to go around, but it was just excessive. I know it's a weird analogy to make, but the cars now look so much cleaner and tidier and smoother. The Mercedes, McLaren, Lotus, Red Bull and Toro Rosso all look amazing (the Ferrari isn't bad, but I'm reminded of an elephant trunk).
