So is this another MP4-18?
It looks as though they have borrowed the McLaren steering rack!!
Good Lord that arm has a ridiculous angle on it. How does this effect kinematics?
Compared to Red Bull and McLaren, where the lower part of the suspension is so back, its the top part here?
the car will definitely get a new front wing once the engine is up to its job.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑13 Feb 2026, 12:57Next test we should see what the real race car looks like. Newey has a penchant for holding onto parts as late as possible.

In the sense that it had a good aero concept, but took the blame for Ferrari's weak engine?
Cool. But on that image it was only a shadow over the shielding that was thought to be a shielding. It was described as "black". Actually a lot like the image right after your comment, but the light coming from a different angle.Farnborough wrote: ↑13 Feb 2026, 13:11And very clearly mzso .... its a cover over the exhaust, definitively so. In all reality to marshall heat radiance locally.
I am more impressed by how they exhaust pipe is intermingling among the suspension parts than the pylon mounted arms.FNTC wrote: ↑12 Feb 2026, 21:31Found these now, from Tobi Grüner:
