Very interesting floor side edge, and double stage roll hoop intake, there are also a lot of strakes between the two first front wing chords

Somehow the mirrors look smaller than I expected

Seems like they went towards what alpine had last season with the sidepods/cooling layout & cannon exit. Will be interesting to see if the pods get scalloped at some point.

The floor edge is crazy.

And indeed the physical car has a floor edge that is nothing like the render - is that floor edge just weird artistic license??

I spy a horseshoe shaped cutout with a wing-like element at the rear of the floor like Ferrari originally ran and RB trialled

Finally a real launch.

I'm waiting for our aero guys analysis

That physical car looks like a showcar to me. The front and rear wings are very dumbed down.

Physical car probably has a placeholder or last years floor

The render seems unrealistic in some ways (floor edge) and the physical car seems too simple in some ways (wings). Very interesting

But both have the Ferrari-style sidepod cooling inlet and alpine-like undercut, as well as a rear cannon exit and more cooling along the shoulder of the car.

Weren't multiple floor cutouts illegal under the new rules?

The roll hoop looks like it is stuck on better
