A potential image of the Ferrari F14 T has been circulating online, leading to speculation that the Maranello squad will take a different design approach for the season ahead.
The car does not feature the new 'anteater' nose used so-far by Williams and McLaren, 'nor the 'tusk' effect that is present on the Lotus and Force India.
Instead, the wing remains the same width as the monocoque, which is something that designers have decided to narrow in the majority of cases to not disrupt the airflow underneath the car and improve aerodynamic efficiency.
The livery featured in the picture is not expected to be the final one featured, although it is expected to be broadly similar with sponsorship from Santander, Shell and Kaspersky to be featured.
Fans chose the name of the chassis for the first time in the teams' history, with a multi-choice vote taking place on their website. They could choose from four options; F166 Turbo, F14 Scuderia, F14 Maranello and the designated F14 T.
Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen will drive the car for the 2014 season, with the squad intending to be present at the first test in Jerez.
An official unveiling will take place online tomorrow, we will be posting official pictures as soon as we receive them.
