Well it's clear Caterham does'nt have the only brick in the field
“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”
"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"

OK...where's it's nose??? That is a true departure from other teams.
Also, very undercut side pods. Another team going down the super slim sidepod route...got to be something in it, yeah? Undercut and super sloped at the rear too.
This car looks nice side on.
Fingers crossed that Team Willy has a good year. Always liked them because they have always been about one thing...going racing.

This is no brick, mate...just look at the work done around the side and rear....this thing is positvely spherical compared to Caterham's straight edge...maybe Caterham are CM Punk fans...are there any X on the car anywhere?

Just reading further into what Team Willy have to say about the car...80% new from last year...including a new gearbox, which to me is a standout admission. Last year they were running a special "stepped" gearbox that freed up some room at the rear, and kept the gearbox very small. I wonder if this means they have reverted to an "old" spec gearbox, something more conventional?

Interpretation of the rules no doubt. Maybe it is a long wheelbase?
Still has pushrod suspension, so it's nothing to do with any sort of pullrod system.
Williams have been known to take risks, eg the Walrus nose (which is actually pretty close to what everyone is running these days), so maybe they have found something?

Some of the comments under that story are funny...
One guy even started a sentence, but finished it with only one word "Senna". I guess some people believe this constitues an argument. So from now on, if anyone disagrees with anything, just say "Senna". OK?

I have no idea about the car but at least their driver pairing should be an improvement, one of the few teams you could make such a claim for.

The nose seems sort of F138-ish.

Yes it does, although much more pronounced on the Williams.
