That's not the race rear wing is it, there nowhere for the DRS to actually hinge from, hiding something or still waiting on the real one from production?
Will have to ask around
They have the centre closer to the ground so get more downforce in ground effect.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑12 Feb 2022, 00:24I've noticed that Aston Martin seems to have used all available space for the front wing while McLaren did not. Could this mean that McLaren feels happy with amount of downforce from the frontend?
Yeah, agreed. It seems that they really want to maximize potential of the venturi tunnels. Hopefully suspension works well enough.Emag wrote: ↑12 Feb 2022, 00:35It seemed so basic at first, but now I feel like McLaren have gone for "make it or break it". I appreciate their boldness, but to be honest, getting kind of anxious. Can't wait for cars to hit the track so we can finally know for sure if this is going to work out or not.
Yes, gear box & rear suspension. The front is their own workFittingMechanics wrote: ↑12 Feb 2022, 00:47Yeah, agreed. It seems that they really want to maximize potential of the venturi tunnels.

Btw does Aston Martin buy gearbox from Mercedes? If so it might mean Mercedes keep pull rod at the back.
Could this bump be side impact crash structure? Not sure exactly how that looks or where it goes.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑12 Feb 2022, 00:15Small blister on the side pod (showing that they’ve tried to wrap the bodywork as much as possible in the area?)

I'm quite sure that it is. In such case, impressive packaging.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑12 Feb 2022, 00:56Could this bump be side impact crash structure?
