There was a rumor that RB backed off from Merc legality claims because they worry about their own future upgrades package.
What legality claims? any source?

Anyone know what that means?
Is it just me or are the side pods much larger than the air intake and radiators, to the eye they seem as slim as Mercedes. Definitely seems to offer substantial room for future development in this area.
Frankly most teams' sidepods are not as slim as they could be with the chosen packaging solution. Choosing a body shape that isn't shrink-wrapped to internals may be advantageous this regulation
Thank you, point taken. Still I am surprised at the disparity in size. Possibly Newey is keeping his options open, looking at the image he definitely could remodel/slim the side pods substantially.organic wrote: ↑18 Mar 2022, 23:14Frankly most teams' sidepods are not as slim as they could be with the chosen packaging solution.

I think that's likely, you can do that 4 times but only during FP1 and/or FP2lio007 wrote: ↑18 Mar 2022, 23:02Maybe an R&D-Test-Gearbox?chrisc90 wrote: ↑18 Mar 2022, 22:43https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files ... 0Issue.pdf

I wouldn't believe that at all and is probably just rabble rousing by that journalist. Red Bull have unusually opened up quite a lot of their car for camera's to see and nothing looks out of the ordinary. That impact structure is round in profile and looks at the correct height when you consider that Red Bull actually has a sidepod unlike a certain other team.
