As @Blackout stated in the speculation thread, the sidepod inlet has a lower lip that juts out

Haas have not only copied ferrari's homework it seems but made it their own

Very elegant (apart from the duct tape :lol: )

The car is full of details =D>

Looks like a sensible evolution on last year. Copied some bits from various teams :lol:

Field will hopefully close up. Get Nico on the podium!!!

Twitter video tends to destroy video quality but here's a shot of it rolling out

also it looks like for the side intakes they went with a mix of Redbull extended lower lip and a ferrari design
expecting most of the field to look like this

It seems they've managed to put a fin just under the AA of HAAS on the sidepod...

What is the gain in leaking air from one side to the other over the bulge/under sharkfin? I assume that works only while the car is cornering. A more extreme concept might be better in any case?

I think that might be a reflection. Scrub the video posted above to see it from different angles.
