RB20 speculation

[AR3-GP]

It reminds me of the intakes of the Concorde, albeit more roundish

If the inlet is to the likes of W14, at least we know that Mercedes was doing something right. Also looking at the shoulder paths on the above the halo which seem to be going along the lines of what Mercedes did last year.

If the RB20 is successful, that is

you can see the nose is attached to the mainplane now with a long nose, potentially similar to the f1-75, the outwashing crese on the top of the pod is gone, and it may be a trick of lighting but it almost looks like there are waterslides now? https://postimg.cc/V5sjvbsY

Both those would be visible on this pic, no? Unless you go with B and make it much thinner.

We desperately need at least one HD pic because from what I'm seeing the bodywork is looking surprisingly similar to the W14. Nose connected to the front wing mainplane? Overbite? Sculpted cannon? Small waterslides? I would find it so unbelievably funny if all features were there on the RB and NOT on the W15, just from an ironic point of view. The floor and suspension will probably be quite different between the two regardless.

True. This angle rules those out. It is the tiniest of inlets.

Wouldn't it just be the cherry on top for Merc to have moved the SIS down to a normal position and then the RB20 comes in looking like W14, winning.

X-ray on Checo? Damn.

Last year it was noted that RB appeared to shrink the roll hoop inlet. This year it seems to have grown again?

Can someone tell me that I am crazy and seeing things...



I highlighted with red on the nose...
You can see the spray on the right side of the wing THROUGH the nose... Almost like it has a double nose? First black part, then the yellow on top of it... Like we had those hideous penis noses from years ago...

Neither A, nor B. There is nothing but shadow under there.

Think what you're thinking is "spray" is just reflection from the shiny surface treated carbon

Have the drivers said anything?
