So red bull did do a shakedown at Silverstone? Is there a picture?

It looks like it will act to block air going over the top of the diffuser, but then maybe the rear arm is above and acts as a flap to help draw air through in conjunction with the beam wing. Would love a better look at this part of the car.

Merc's floor is much flatter than the competition at this stage, it doesn't go "way down" then kicks up it has a rather smooth curvature.
Tiny sidepods (big inlets though) and a FW the has no inside loading, peculiar to say the least.
indeed, strange concerning the floor returning, maybe it was a test concept or they got it to work now?Owen.C93 wrote: ↑18 Feb 2022, 13:03Strange that they had the same wavy floor on the W12 and then deleted it during the season.
I would say one of the more telling things on this car is how steep the front wing is. Looks like they have a lot of load on the front end which could imply they are getting strong downforce elsewhere as well.
They have pitot tubes already moulded into the floor, so I guess they are ready to shakedown pretty soon?
Cant use those renders for anything, not even the wheel covers are current specSevach wrote: ↑18 Feb 2022, 13:02https://cdn-1.motorsport.com/images/mgl ... w13-1.webp

Unlikely to be a different car in Barcelona. Maybe in Bahrain.AeroDynamic wrote: ↑18 Feb 2022, 13:09What if they turn up to the Barcelona test with a very different looking car? They did this in 2019 between the two tests.
I feel it's unlikely as they are not familiar with this ruleset.AeroDynamic wrote: ↑18 Feb 2022, 13:09What if they turn up to the Barcelona test with a very different looking car? They did this in 2019 between the two tests.
