Take it to a bike shop and let a mechanic do an inspection. If the bike is only 5 months old, I'm pretty sure you have a warranty claim with Cervelo. It may seem like a hassle, but you will feel better when you race if you are 100% sure your ride is good to go.

This is the worst pic ever. Are you trying to focus on the chain?

try a pic without the beer glasses on,worse pic ever

The circle where the skewer rests should have ridges on it, if that's what you're talking about. I seriously doubt you managed to crack it, but as others have said, we either need a better picture or take it to someone who can check it out.

I think that is either a UFO or 'effing bigfoot.

The image is too big to upload. The URL is blowing the image up so that it looks blurry.

Looks fine to me. They all do this. My P3 looks the same.

Totally normal. The skewer clamping area is always going to chip the paint off there.

What would you expect it to look like? The forces of closing the QR skewer alone would be enough to damage the paint, not even talking about what happens to wheel, frame and QR skewer when hitting a pothole during riding. On that picture we cant see a lot, but I don't see evidence of anything more than paint damaged.

When (and why) did Cervelo start to paint the dropouts? I am fairly certain my P5s dropouts are unpainted, and it doesn't do anything else than scaring poor people like the OP?

Yeah, looks normal. If you're worried about it, simply don't clamp your skewer down too hard. It does not need to be super tight. Some people clamp them down way too much.

That's not a problem. That section of the frame is made of alloy (not carbon). Check out this picture to get a sense of what's underneath that paint.
