I am convinced it’s the exact same tactic they used in 2010 with the fake exhausts. This time though I don’t really see anything to hide.
Horner called it a launch livery. They've done testing liveries in the past.
The special edition livery has made its mark on the 2018 season. Knowing we were running all of our development and processes earlier to meet this early launch, we felt that ‘shift’ had to be reflected in the livery, hence the ‘digital disruption’ you saw on the RB14 at Silverstone. news/21509

The final spec RB13 had eight elements there as well.roon wrote: ↑20 Feb 2018, 21:46Eight elements on the FW main plane.

I agree. The cars evolve so much throughout the year these days that, in the absence of any large rule changes (ie 2016->2017) then I am not surprised to see the new year's model be simply an evolution of the last. This was a race winning car just a few months ago.ME4ME wrote: ↑20 Feb 2018, 22:30I think Manoah you and many others underestimate a sound and well exectured design. Evolutionary steps aren't as interesting but for all its bells and whistles the Sauber has yet to prove it's effectiveness. This has been shown time and time again throughout the years.
