And Renault from back then is a bad example, because as AN himself said, F1 was marketing for Renault back then. That is certainly not the case with Ferrari or Mercedes and also not for Renault today even if the latter are a little behind in some areas.
What do you mean? F1 is the beginning and the end for Ferrari marketing.
Perhaps to clarify my statement about this in regard to RB 20....observation of cooling compromise from the, as yet, unseen airflow entrance etc, is that AN (as already pointed out by andi76) is along with other designers completely aware of just how much the power unit requires.
My "supporting evidence" was of the V8 period from when I understood that the Renault was selected in advance of the Ferrari primarily on this metric by AN as it then allowed the aero performance to by pulled into a different performance envelope.
That appears to be what comments are about now with RB 20 and it's related radiator cooling entrance design compromise from initial appraisal of the images we've seen.
