So much bare carbon, they must really struggle with the weight of this car

Clearly an evolution of last year's car. The only thing that drastically pops out for me is the much tighter packaging in the coke bottle area

Looks a bit like a Great Value Red Bull. Sidepod creases, Red Bull style floor fences, Red Bull style ramp and cannon vent, it really is all there.

The sidepods are definitely more shrink wrapped than last year at the back

Evolution rather than revolution, as expected.
I see a lot of last year's car on it, with a bit more Red Bull-esque details.
Wouldn't get my hopes too high but let's see.

Is it just me or does the engine cover look weird from the side? This edge seems weirdly high up

I think it looks quite nice, a lot of bare carbon though. Stella mentioned that they have some promising developments in the pipeline, I am sure they all do, so I am looking forward to the development over the course of the year.
