image distortion due to wide angle lens
It's a little contradicting you say that, because McLaren's sidepods look so much similar to Ferrari's. Their difference is that it seems McLaren has put a bit of cooling on top of the engine, but Ferrari has put all the cooling on the sidepods.Gecko wrote: ↑16 Feb 2022, 19:31Indeed. You can push the wake sideways with a blunt sidepod, but if you taper the sidepod back from the side rather than from the top, you'll be pulling that wake back in rather than getting the high energy air from above the sidepod down onto the diffuser. This is where I believe the Williams, McLaren, Alpha Tauri, and Haas seem to have an advantage, assuming they executed on the concept well.Blackout wrote: ↑16 Feb 2022, 19:17And downwashLM10 wrote: ↑16 Feb 2022, 18:38Considering that most cars we've seen so far have bulkier sidepods, there is a decent possibility that this could be the way to go. Since with bargeboards a critical area for outwash is banned now, there is not much left for teams to do other than using the sidepod shaping for creating outwash.
Interesting, what is wrong according to you?PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑16 Feb 2022, 19:19It's like everything has gone horrible wrong with this car!
I need more angles before I believe it though.
It is so detailed and unique it can not be fake.timbo wrote: ↑16 Feb 2022, 19:54The more I look at it, the more I think it has to be fake.
Maybe this comes from the same person who did renders like shown in this post:

There are some amazing 3D artists out there. Some of the elements can be recycled from previous/other cars.F1ern wrote: ↑16 Feb 2022, 20:04It is so detailed and unique it can not be fake.timbo wrote: ↑16 Feb 2022, 19:54The more I look at it, the more I think it has to be fake.

I meant downwash before the sidepod towards the tunnels or the undercut. So between FW and sidepods. ; )Gecko wrote: ↑16 Feb 2022, 19:31Indeed.

You should immediately apply for the job as technical director, if you managed to analyze a whole concept with nothing more than looking at a single angle on a low quality picture and from that came to the conclusion that Ferrari will be fighting for points. Because then you're much better than the combination of hundreds of engineers working thousands of hours with the best possible equipment/hardware/software to build this car.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑16 Feb 2022, 20:12I'm sorry Tifosi, but Carlito and Sharl will be fighting for points until I am convinced that this weird middle-ground philosophy is an advantage.
It has a big basin in top of the side-pod and I am not sure why. Are they trying to scoop the air upward, over the rear wheel like those fender flick-ups from 2008? Or did they forget that Caterham failed miserably with this idea.
And what's with that "horse knuckle" looking over-cut? Is the down-wash from this to help lower the pressure at the throat of the venturi tunnel?
The side pod openings seem to be aimed at making a sort of rock climbing nook for the drivers stick their boots in to enter the cock-pit more than anything else...
Sorry Tifosi!

It's way too detailed of a concept to be fake. Doubt someone just came up with a new philosophy just to make a random render of the car.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑16 Feb 2022, 20:21Is it even the car?LM10 wrote: ↑16 Feb 2022, 20:19You should immediately apply for the job as technical director, if you managed to analyze a whole concept with nothing more than looking at a single angle on a low quality picture and from that came to the conclusion that Ferrari will be fighting for points.

Not sure why anyone is wasting any effort yet to analyze this.
Given the descriptions about it from various sources, there's a very high chance. If its fake, they're an extremely talented artist that has shown more imagination than every other 2022 render out there.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑16 Feb 2022, 20:21
