The fact that the cars are passing that close yet aren't blowing that piece of body panel way off to the side is so far probably the best visual indicator that the new rules are working as intended.

I wonder if they’ve had an internal failure that’s blown the side pod off.

My bet is they tried to save weight and made the part paper thin.

Merc are splitting the running with different floors and Russell’s floor appears to be working.

My understanding is that both specs have some changes. Hamilton has a Z-cut floor though, as well.
