The nose seems like what Redbull tried to achieve with RB19.

Last year we feared all cars would look the same, and they didn't. But this year they definitely all look alike.

[Cs98]

aaaaand it's another RB copy. Look at that front wing...

ALPINE!

alpine sidepods.

ALPINE!

alpine sidepods.

Far more extreme than Alpine. It's like an Alpine Ferrari hybrid

[chrstphrln]

Surprisingly wide sidepods, little undercut. Seems like they're not going further the Red Bull way and are more taking the 2022 Ferrari as a model.

Stroll found the money to copy the RB18 nosecone and front wing, it seems, like I predicted in the speculation thread.

I really like how incredibly blocky the Mercedes bizarroo cooling looks on cars with sidepods on them.

[sbrillo]

a mix between Alpine, Rb and a little of Ferrari (side pods are concave and a little bit curve)

Last year we feared all cars would look the same, and they didn't. But this year they definitely all look alike.

Agreed. Maybe this wasn't to be unexpected though. Many teams had already started moving towards the Red Bull-style downwash sidepods during last year's developments.

The Aston's "fishbowl" is very aggressive though. The placement of the cooling vents at the top of the car rather than down the side is interesting as well.
