Sky have an interactive thingy for anyone interested in that sort of thing: http://www1.skysports.com/formula-1/news/12433/7480527/F1-testing-day-one
Fascinating, if it's true!
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson
"There is a certain amount of anxiety among fans of McLaren that their car is the only one so far not to feature a stepped 'platypus' nose. There is a rumour going around that this is all part of a cunning plan. The lower nose regulation was originally planned for 2011, but was delayed by a year. The rumour goes that McLaren built their 2011 chassis and crash structure to conform to the stepped nose regs and were effectively running it all last year - which would make McLaren months ahead of their rivals in optimising the aerodynamics of the new rules. I ran this by an experienced F1 engineer, and the response was: 'Sounds like a good story to cover up a bit of a screw-up.' Time will tell."

Someone is out the back with a craft knife and some duct tape desperately redesigning the nose
No Redbull yet either.
Come on Mclaren and Redbull. Put the drivers in the car and send it out. No need to be scared.
