I wonder whats the differences between the 2 cars in aerodynamics at least..

To be honest, most cars change very little year-in-year out these days, last year the only "new" car last year that stood out for me was the Red Bull and that can obviously explained by Newey's influence. If this is re. the Ferrari scandal, then the McLaren and Ferrari have always looked different aerodynamically, I may be wrong but I think the Ferrari data more concerned wheelbase, braking systems etc. which aren't that obvious for the untrained eye to pick up.
I mean to my mind, the BMW still displays some heritage from the Ferrari-derived Sauber of a few years back...

Most teams adapt the same big engine cover as Mclaren and Ferrari (bmw,redbull,toyota)Mclaren is identical with last years car. but not the other teams.Most cars i can find the differences.. but not mclaren

Even Lewis says it is "an evolution" of last year's car. Would that be an "evolution" based on Ferrari data?

toyota and mclaren both have a longer wheelbase this year, last season everyone troubled ferrari for the concept :)

True that at this time it seems to be the car with the least amount of exterior changes but let's not forget that this is not the car that's going to be in Australia in March. I think that right now they are suffering a little setback due to the fact that they agreed to freeze the development of 3 different areas in their car. I am sure right now they are redisigning and reingeniring these areas and also I am sure that very soon they are going to introduce the real Ferrari contender. I am also sure that then you and many other people (including myself) will be able to see all the changes that were made. How successfull these changes are going to be, that remains to be seen.
