The black under the sidepod really ruins what could be a lovely livery. Looks like the grid is merging towards this overbite and vague cannon exit centrally too.

No livery in the car threads, please! It invites all its friends.
In most cases, the majority is below the average.

Vertical slot alongside the chassis under the shark inlets to clean up airflow into the undercut

Love the white livery.

Since carbon fibre are black will white paint be heavier than darker color? I presume it will require thicker coat to musk the carbon color..

They don't use paint anymore... It's plastic wrap now...

With all that white, they must be less concerned about the weight of the paint/wrap than in previous years? Presumably the car itself is safely below the weight limit.
