That was not the case in 2019, but in 2018. Yes, it' smoking asgain. That was prertty clear in the livestream when Lecler was in the pits.SirBastianVettel wrote: ↑12 Mar 2021, 11:55Did anyone else just noticed the smoke coming right out the end of the rear crash structure? Didn't they have the same in 2019 with their "questionable" engine? I don't remember seeing this in 2020.
Edit: someone just posted this picture on Reddit asking the same question

It depends. It looks considerably bigger, but sidepod area look amongst smallest. Also engine cover is, volume wise, smallest with biggest shark fin indicating packaging is done further below, while for RB the entire shark fin part is filled out.
Yeah, don't know how people can only look at just one specific area and then make conclusions out of that. It's just a way of different packaging. The engine cover overall seems to be the smallest, as you say. And that's been the case the last couple of seasons already.
From my observation most of the teams are running huge outlets. Notably the Alpine and McLaren from what I saw. Bahrain temperature to blame maybe, that or just aiming for maximum cooling/reliability/mileage before you begin to push the engine harder further down the line
Interesting aerorack - pitot tubes at different angles instead of classic "grid" formation. Is this new or did I just miss something last years?
