A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Of course they should bring performance to the track as soon as they can. But this upgrade better be realiable. If it isn't they can say farewell to the championship.

That looks like a sand mold of the block.

or probably some kind of RP model of an old engine (pretty sure they will not be showing around the new one)

Aside the curious use of a tripple upper flap, it looks like they are/have converging/converged to what Red Bull/Mercedes have.

I may be talking rubbish (usually do) but at first glance this looks like more of a barn door of a front wing. I'd suspect that, rather than purely thinking about how to angle the flow towards the rear (which is still obviously paramount), they're also looking to increase front downforce.

There was some talk in testing about the balance on this car being too far rearward- and the longer nose last year probably created some downforce of its own - so this may be a way of trying to balance the car whilst maintaining maximum rear downforce.

I'm not an aerodynamicist though, so just a layman's thoughts.
