What are those two curved fairings rearwards of the body, just after the side vents and just below the elephant-trunks ?vorticism wrote: β29 Feb 2024, 18:58https://x.com/AlbertFabrega/status/1763150258895237628

Sorry, I didn't see your question. I was just making a comment on the images in the post.Venturiation wrote: β01 Mar 2024, 17:51I'm talking about the rear floor not the 2 inlets
In other pictures itβs a really small opening. Probably tyre temp sensor.Venturiation wrote: β01 Mar 2024, 17:40What is the red cover on the rear floor

Hypothesis and I'm still waiting to see some confirming details. We're at race day today so it won't be until the next venue that new photos will be available.

First view of how they plug the inlets in the garage. Foam insert with cooling hoses into the main inlet, typical. The vertical slot has similar foam jammed into it as well, looks like a sheet inserted edgewise. No hose visible connected to it. The red strip at left is livery, ignore it.
This might rule out that it's an aero duct (S-duct or similar) because: why would you block it off in the garage?
If there's no hose connected to that plug in the vertical slot, then:
-likely not for dedicated cooling flow
-could indicate connection to the main inlet plenum to prevent cool air from the hoses leaking out
-engine intakes get plugged for shipment & garage... although I'm having my doubts about this supposition. The roll hoop looks too large relative to the radiator that's behind it i.e. the roll hoop looking like it's not 100% cooling inlet
