Are those the real upwash effect generated by the new endplates mountings front wing?

Any sort of downward turning surface is going to generate some lift but usually the payoff is in using the redirected airflow to power up something like the diffuser or the rear wing far more than any lift generated by the surface.atanatizante wrote: ↑20 Feb 2023, 16:02Could those 2 channel bath tubes also generate load/downforce (maybe near the car`s CoG or CoP?) in addition to their main cooling function?

Didn't the AT03 have this first? I seem to recall seeing the cannon/bath tube on the AlphaTauri before last summer.atanatizante wrote: ↑20 Feb 2023, 16:02
Which could be something that RB18 pioneered since Silverstone 2022 update?

And last but not least: how are the rear wing and the beam wing influenced by the hot air coming from the cannon outlets?
Yes they launched with it. Alpine might've too.SuperCNJ wrote: ↑20 Feb 2023, 17:11Didn't the AT03 have this first? I seem to recall seeing the cannon/bath tube on the AlphaTauri before last summer.atanatizante wrote: ↑20 Feb 2023, 16:02

It seems that drivers ran without the windshield both in dry and wet conditions at the shakedown adding to my above theory:

Exhausts are part of the homologation perimeter, as far as I know (ie, frozen).SuperCNJ wrote: ↑21 Feb 2023, 02:25I'm wondering whether Merc has changed the exhaust manifold route with the extra space created by the cannons which could explain why some people are saying the W14 sounds different? This is something they haven't had the luxury to do with such a tightly shrink-wrapped body before. If so, could they potentially release a few more ponies with better exhaust routing? Is this even allowed?
Post-turbine is free. Pre-Turbine is frozen (manifold etc).Vaexa wrote: ↑21 Feb 2023, 02:28Exhausts are part of the homologation perimeter, as far as I know (ie, frozen).SuperCNJ wrote: ↑21 Feb 2023, 02:25I'm wondering whether Merc has changed the exhaust manifold route with the extra space created by the cannons which could explain why some people are saying the W14 sounds different?

I think they are disigned so wide apart to line up with the Halo's mouting points to minimize turbulent losses from the Halo. Basically it's just generic streamlining IMOatanatizante wrote: ↑20 Feb 2023, 16:02Could those 2 channel bath tubes also generate load/downforce (maybe near the car`s CoG or CoP?) in addition to their main cooling function?
