They can't. As per the new technical regs, they must show all the components that will be used during the weekend on homologation day, which was today.

That's true. But they don't have to show the media...

Come on, don't you think this is getting ridiculous? There's no miracle package, although we would have wished so.

No one said it was a "Miracle", just that they aren't showing everything...

Interesting, you can see their brake duct vented over the brake rotor.

They do that and the way that you mention in the RB16B thread. I think all of the teams do this to varying degrees.

That pullrod lower attachment is pretty high. I think they had that last year, but I guess it's to slim the area under the gearbox as much as possible for the diffuser.

Any idea whay is the plenum carbon so shiny?I mean in comparison to other carbon surfaces...

And for the tokens, could it be that removing DAS take some tokens? Or it was for free?

[99stewartL]

They had a non DAS front end homologated, but it wasn't necessarily optimal so we can't be sure if they spent tokens there or not

I wonder why there is a lump on top of the outboard end of the upper wishbone. Perhaps a simple adjustment device or similar. Any other ideas what it might be.

Do you mean the carbon cover for the mounting point? It’s just been moved out of place for adjustment.

Did you mean to post that somewhere else?

[El Scorchio]

Have they used their tokens on increasing the rake/raising the back of the car? (Assuming that requires token spend.)

That would be something that's obvious and clear.
