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.

Ben posted a photo in the SF70H thread that Ferrari are using one-piece engine covers now, but isn't this Williams engine cover also one-piece?

Williams FW40 - new front wing

Image

"For Melbourne, Williams introduced this new front wing. It features two small, triangular fins (red arrows) attached to the endplate, in a quite unusual position compared to the team’s previous design."

The outer edge lacks the trickery of some other cars, but there are a large number of fins on the brake ducts.

Because of rain forecast the team has reversed (into the afternoon) to non-blown front axle!
