In this picture there seems to be a very interesting undercut under the gearbox..
Almost looks like it is floating in the air over the floor...

Maybe it is the lighting and so an optical illusion but it really looks like this.


I already thought I´ve seen it here:



But here it also could be an illusion by shadow and light.

What I´m missing is the small DD-style outlet between Diffuser and Crash structure.

I'm not trying to start anything here (optical ollusion maybe) but is the FW tilting backwards\up a little bit?

[GrizzleBoy]

Maybe, but its the old wing from Brazil 2012 anyway.

Hmmm ... does BlackBerry have a decent Twitter app for Lewis?

The front shot there is interesting – there's some semi-U pods going on there.

[Mika1]

It's a beautiful car at least.

Fairly large undercut, the sidepods have a slight U shape on the top. There are several vortex generators on and just in front of the sidepods. The top of the diffuser is very bare. The small "extra" diffuser below the rear crash structure is absent. The diffuser vanes look to turn outward like the Lotus last year. There are turning vanes on the tea tray. There is a rather large and odd shaped cooling exit at the rear. They retain the pushrod front suspension. The rear wheel brake duct vanes are interesting. One looks to almost join with the floor. The rear drive shaft is covered by the lower A-arm. Looks like all the teams are adopting that.

It's strange, the bodywork and gearbox seems to be lifted allowing air to flow around the coke bottle section of the sidepods but then underneath the gearbox + associated bodywork, exiting below the crash structure. Need to have a better shot of the rear but there's definitely something going on there.

It is an upside down T shape for the radiator cooling exit.
