The bodywork looks really large from this angle

It might be a little more exxagerated now, but that was an upgrade from Silverstone last yearSmallSoldier wrote: ↑16 Feb 2023, 20:27Not sure why the image isn’t loading, but re-uploaded it for youdes_1986 wrote: ↑16 Feb 2023, 20:15The interesting sculpting of bodywork around the front suspension of the W14

The size/shape of the tunnels seem more or less similar from the top view which provides a good measuring stick and makes it quite obvious how much wider it is.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑16 Feb 2023, 20:39An effort to establish the relation between W13 and W14 sidepods. Due to massively different came angles and fish-eye distortion (no surprises there!), the only reference for sidepod width is the floor width, since both designs are widest at the floor in order to incorporate mid wing.

My verdict - sidepods are slightly wider at the widest point, rear end (the one where the problems were) is far wider and along the Z-axis W14 sidepods are clearly much bigger by design. Undoubtedly empty extra volume, used for external flow conditioning, much like all other teams chose to do last season.
Anyone wanting to dispute this comparison - knock yourself out
There was never a zero pod concept.
W14 has an overhang, so measuring the widest point in plan…yes 14 is wider. Sidepod edge-to-edge though, they’re as wide as each other at max width I’d wager - the sidepod contouring is what’s throwing you.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑16 Feb 2023, 20:39An effort to establish the relation between W13 and W14 sidepods.
