Aston Martin AMR22

[Just_a_fan]

That front wing adjusters on the inside will need two "enthusiastic" mechanic for a 2 sec pit stop.

The hinge design is also obviously designed to shed a vortex with that nice big triangle of metal sticking up in to the airflow at a slight angle to the stream.

Can they raise the wing central section more? So is there a minimum hieght?

That is quite a sharp turn below the undercut, I wonder how much air they can turn with that sort of shape.
It's a bit hard to see on the limited set of pictures we have so far, but doesn't it look like a sort of opening where the diffusor steps up? Theres an odd joint/assembly there and I can't tell if there's a kind of Naka duct there or else, I guess not but it looks odd.

Isn't that usually position where they place IR cameras for monitoring the rears ?

I guess yeah that would make more sense, but why put it inside the floor exactly where the underbody surface needs to be the cleanest?



Really looks odd from another angle. Surely it's nothing but I really don't get why there's paneling+stuff happening there.

Looking the gap between the sidepod and the floor reminds me to this...
Maybe an attempt to double floor? Also Toro Rosso triet something similar in 2011

What purpose do the slits on the side pods serve?

Cooling exits for the radiators.

But in 2009 they said those caused turbulance and they banned it, but noe its back.
Does it really effect the car following?

The tea tray is the most interest part to me. It has some holes going under the floor. Like a central vortex to prevent on side of the under-floor from influencing the other side?

Where did you find a photo of holes in the tea tray? There does seem to be a winglet on the splitter.

Not at that angle. Holes, or small tunnels directly behind it going under the centre of the car.

I don't recall it being banned?

I foresee a lot of front wing damage after minor contact happening this season.

Gills were banned along with Chimneys.. but it was more for the chimneys why closed holes were banned in the side pods 50mm above the reference plane.

A few things, for one, they can clean up the rear tire wake above the tire. Additionally, they allow you to run a tighter coke bottle and smaller cooling exit at the rear.

My mistake, for some reason I thought siskue2005 was talking about the undercut (Toro Rosso style) being banned.
