While I agree it looks absolutely brilliant. I can also say its outdated right now. The diffuser is very basic compaired to the Ferrari and RBR design's. The front wing is taken from the pirelli/toyota 2010 (non runner) car. And the rear end is quite bulky compaired to most.
Right now the winning design for innovation though goes to Renault and its forward blown exhausts under the sidepods. Apparently Mclaren/Mercedes and RBR all have simmilar designs in the pipeline. Rather clever I think.

The Renault exhaust reminded me of the ill fated USF1 type I. If you recall, the design drawings had the exhaust exiting behind the air scoop. I believe it was meant for weight savings, but who knows, it also might have been a more efficient way to toast bread Grin
