Interesting stuff as always Vanja. Why do you think RB has stayed away from the scooped sidepod concept that other teams have opted for to varying degrees? Theoretically, its to outwash the front tire wake but RB 19, the most efficient car on the grid has not gone in that direction.
I'm working on finding that out. I think RB is generating outwash in a different manner, for less drag, and using long wide sides to keep the flow away.

Nice article Vanja, just want to point out in Miami RB's straight lines were better even non drs-ed. We have a good comparison available on second to last lap for max and last lap for hamilton
Ferrari was quite close overall, performance on each straight varied during the race, often equal to RB. Aston only slightly behind, less than that lap of Hamilton. On other races, same thing. It was a general statement.
