One of the changes: Sidepods/air intakes are higher

I truly hope this is the camera that makes the steering wheel/rod looked crooked.

Steernig wheel is slighty tilted... Nothing odd here...

Changes I can see:

Tea tray is different.
No more extra gearbox cooling? Smaller gearbox?
Something is going on with their rear wing drs.
Monkey seat looks a little different.
Side pods are different.
Vortex generators under the mirrors.
New turning vanes.
The roll hoop is different.

I'll add as I spot more things. Remember there will be more added as the tests go on.

There is something under the "Coanda sidepod" but i can't see it. The clearance to the floor is big.

[Mika1]

Wow! Very aggressive!

Cooling outlet "blowing" the centre of the diffuser?

[Nando]

You must be joking with that post.

From the pre-launch speculation thread you people talk like it's the absolute piece of s**t clown car of the grid. Make good and constructive posts or keep the "wise" commentaries for yourself.

So you can´t see that the wheel is slightly bent to the left? (regardless if it´s camera or not)

[Bazza]

Interestingly, Mercedes has managed to make a nose that looks worse than the one they were using last year.

That was not the point. The point was that continuing this "let's mock the W04" attitude is not constructive and it drags other people into making the same.

The coke bottle looks a bit weird too. Doesn't seem to have the smooth amalgamation into the gearbox area the other cars have. Could just be that angle though.

I dont think the car's nose looks worse than that of last years car(s)

So no criticism of the Mercedes, i get it.

I´m sure this is a red bull killer.
