Is Senna that small or did they over-dimension the cockpit for whatever reason?

In the first picture it almost looks like Bruno Senna is making car noises to go with his pretend steering :D

My thoughts exactly! BRUUUUUMMMM!

It looks out of proportion because there's no proper headrest and he isn't wearing a helmet.

I've thought about the lack of helmet and side protections too, still it looks a bit weird, maybe it's also some kind of optical effect due to the camera settings.

Yes, maybe there really IS no car yet, and the whole thing is a clever photoshop montage to make us believe they are on track with developing the car! :D

Perhaps the larger fuel tanks are adding a bit of girth around the middle to a 2010 car? Although that said to my eye it doesn't look massively wrong - certainly not as down right bulbous '96 Benettons' and Ferrari's.

The big looks car on the first pic because the chassis is made from plywood...

Or maybe it's just a bad design? Wouldn't surprise me. One of the new teams is bound to have a real "Forti". :rolleyes:

According Bernie, they will not be on the grid next year.

I don't think they will pass verification using that car..., Where did you hear it Mia...

Just checked the aboce link which is a Campos team press pack, and stumbled upon this image/rendering of their supposed car:

Although, more I look at it, I think theyve just blacked out a 2009 McLaren Mercedes looking at the similarities in front/rear wings, nose and airbox

Wotcha reckon guys?

Thats what i thought when i looked at it, but im sure they only did it for promotional purposes, It would be daft and very controversial if it were the final design

looks like a computer version mclaren, copied cats. lol

It's definitely the MP4-24. This (http://www.f1-site.com/wallpapers/2009/presentation_mclaren/mclaren-mp4-24-wallpaper-f1-car-2009-2.jpg) side view image of the McLaren is identical to the side view in that graphic. I agree it's just for promotional purposes and not the actual car.
