The RB14 is currently wearing a special edition livery. We're keeping our race-ready paint job under wraps for the time being and will unveil it at the Circuit de Catalunya next week. The unfamiliar shapes under the paint, however, are here to stay.
My non-racing fan coworker saw me wasting time on the internet and remarked "it looks like a flip flop" in reference to the halo. Had to explain what it was for.
According to the usually well-informed Corriere della Sera, the Scuderia could revert to a slightly darker tone of red, reminiscent of the color which prevailed on the Italian cars in the 70s.
Those stub wings...are those for the cameras? It looks like it's just mounted on those two cylinders (left and right of "Mobil 1" on the nose). I don't think I've seen other camera pods mounted like that, though to be honest I wasn't looking for or paying attention to how the camera pods were attached.

Yeah, camera pods. Been like that for a few seasons now.
So apparently Danny Ric binned the RB14 yday before completing the full distance. RB said they were happy with results up to that point.
In other news...
Some interesting bits. Sidepod looks taller and narrower but lots going on there. Need some better pics. Blade roll hoop on the intake too. Coupled with fairing on the halo. Wonder if the 2 are related.
Livery looks decent but would have liked a bit moar of the Alfa red
