So Mercedes actually retained their extremely undercut monocoque flancs that helped them make the infamous 2022 'zero-pods'... interesting..
+1 Interesting. Just goes to show how intentionally oversized the sidepods are in this formula. Merc still get the advantage of keeping the HX mass closer to center with those monocoque undercuts, while inflating the sidepods out to the more advantageous areas.
As it relates, notice the outline of the sidepod compared to the size of the radiator ducting in Fabrega's photo of the C45 at Singapore here:
