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.

I can't see them venting with gills along the sidepod due to the necessity for clean airflow along the downwash portion.... I suspect a similar solution to Mclaren with a large rear cooling outlet.
Pretty sure you can see the big letterbox exit bulging right below the mini shark fin in the extreme right of the picture
ahh yes just spotted it, hmm, so similar cooling positions to McLaren, except extreme undercut, and extreme downwash.

I wonder if front tyres management would be less effective, where McLaren create a wall with the sidepod to create stagnation to push the wake outwards, I'm curious as to what their approach is

The second image is definitely the last year engine cover, as for the top image, large sidepod intake!

I think the second photo is just the bodywork from last year because it doesn't match the other leaks shape and livery. The first image though does look like the same car but very hard to tell

first image is the same leak car from before, can see the same pinstripe paint job, and large airbox.

If it's last year's when did they run this beautiful split red/blue Honda tribute livery? Did I forget a race or demo event? It's beautiful

It looks more like an unfinished paint job, than special livery

The left/right side inlets on that first picture look so big like on the pre 2018 cars, very very surprising to see that when we're in the smallest inlets possible era

I see a hole at the top of the chassis, which means pushrod front suspension.

Will be interesting today, with the Alphatauri release, we may get a snippet at what rear suspension, gearbox (hence wheelbase) and front suspension which Redbull will run, will be interesting to see if Redbull have gone with the same approach as Mclaren. Provided we actually get shown a real car, or Redbull allow the sister team to display the suspension geometries.
