Those valleys in the AM sidepods provide a smaller cross section area compared to the RB, while still (seemingly) providing the outwash of a wide sidepod. I find this interesting. RB/Ferrari big pods + the small cross sectional area of the midsection you might only expect from the W13/14.
They pay it back with a lot of Centreline cooling that RB/Ferrari lack
It sounds like everyone thinks centerline cooling is a big advantage, but maybe that impression deceives me too. But just in case - don't jump to conclusions here, a lot of things need to be mounted higher, which increases CoG. In relative comparison, Ferrari's solution, which raised little to no parts of the cooling, should give the lowest CoG.
