I wouldn't read into that. The engine cover is clearly W14 inspired

Yes, of course. The shape of the HALO is very similar.
W14 has the high shoulders and also for the same aerodynamic purpose. Not to mention they ran louvres there as well like RB. Bathtub sidepods.. completely different form, purpose etcchrstphrln wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 16:45Yes, of course. The shape of the HALO is very similar.
What I meant are the bathtubs with the outlets.
It's basically identical to what Ferrari had on the sidepods, just one floor higher.
But that’s not meant to be derogatory at all, quite the opposite!
It is something Newey has always excelled at.
Adapting good ideas and integrating them into his own unique concepts.
We can already see the entire ducting of the halo inletstmoneyr007 wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 16:47I’m not marking/mocking this up but what IF.
You directed the vertical cooling ducts, halo, roll hoops into “one” big internal cooling/exhaust plenum and then had the S-Ducts trigger a mechanism to exhaust gases out the side (over side pods) or down the shark fin valley exists based on speed/yaw?
Cooling Exhaust (switch)?
Airflow over side pods to floor or out the back to interact with beam wing DRS?
You're right, I remembered the shape of the Mercedes incorrectly. My bad.organic wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 16:46W14 has the high shoulders and also for the same aerodynamic purpose.

As understood by Formu1a.uno , we will never see a real zeropods concept on the RB20 , although in cooler races the bodywork could be even more aggressive.
It's super cool to see the effect the high pressure zone in front of the inlet has on the airflow coming off the front suspension

Did the car run on track like this?

if proven to be beneficial in performance, we could see more cars adopting.venkyhere wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 17:14I've lost track... just how many air inlets and outlets does the RB20 have ?
Air Inlets :
1. Roll-hoop middle
2. Roll-hoop sides x 2
3. Sidepod horizontal letterbox inlets x 2
4. vertical slits on the chassis side, under overbite 'eagle-beak' of sidepods x 2 (or x 4 ? )
5. engine cover elephant trunk x 2
6. Nose top driver cooling ducts x 2
Air Outlets :
1. Sidepod rear bottom outlet (blowing into coke bottle area) x 2
2. Engine cover sidefacing triple/quadruple louvres x 2
3. Engine cover skyfacing bathtub channel louvres x 2
4. Engine cover rear conventional big outlet
what else am I missing ?
