It's their official page, the news from that page is 100% legit and they will always post stuff on stuff like FB and twitter before anywhere else. Also their website will only have the pictures once the full reveal is done I believe.

Have you been on their FB page ? it's not a joke and I don't see why it would be one, we all knew the noses this season was going to be ****ed up, it all depended on what each team was going to create with the new regulations.
Well there you go, yall see now that what I was sauying was true
For some reason the nose from top view isn't that bad.

I don't understand the point of one side of the forklift nose being longer than the other?
Just imagine the laughs and jokes of Codemasters when they are modeling the new 3D models for F1 2014.

.Maybe that's just the picture.
It isn't 'just the picture'.
I don't know the full complications but I believe that only one is actually there for support.

The two tusks are unequal lengths, longer one forms the 9000mm2 tip, the other is also a crash strcuture, both act as Y250 flow conditioners
Not that bad other than the nose

All the angles have the same evidence, so I don't think it's just the image at fault.
Maybe one is slightly longer so that they have a clearly defined front tip, perhaps as required by the rules.
Yeah very true, I guess if they did so, it shouldn't have an impact on aero.

Its a digital rendering, i guess the moddler was a bit tyred doing the nose. Dont think the actual nose tips on the real car is going to have this offset, there is realy no point doing that.
They have something to explain if they do.

There IS an offset.
Agreed. Look at the original render, it is offset.

In order to meet the single lower nose tip regulation, the two tusks are of unequal length, so the longer one forms the mandatory nose tip, while the other is short enough to avoid being considered part of the nose tip by the regulations.
This leaves each tusk to act as a crash structure, the front wing mounting pylon and then, as they slim narrow the rear of the car, also become turning vanes.
