A rare improvement in the service offered by the Royal Mail means that Caterham's 2012 contender in unveiled a day earlier than planned.

The Malaysian team had planned to unveil the car, designated the CT01, in the latest edition of F1 Racing magazine, due to hit the doormats of subscribers on Thursday morning.

However, in a move totally out of character, the British mail service actually delivered the magazines a day ewarly leading to pictures being scanned and posted online.

Consequently, Caterham has officially tweeted pictures of the new car due to begin testing next month at Jerez.

The biggest noticeable difference is the nose, described by some as resembling a duckbilled platypus and by others as akin to a prizefighter's. The distinctive look is expected to be adopted by a number of team this year due to the new regulations.
