Hi
This is the first time I have posted here. Hope the images work. Thought the following comparison might be of interest.
Below is a set of w13 lines I worked up last year. Based on Imola config so the late season changes are obviously missing.
Overlayed these lines on some of the launch day pictures. Overlay process corrects for camera focal length so compensates for the gross distortions present in photos. It's not perfect though. Side View first.

Starting at the back. The rear wing is very similar. The engine cover is obviously very different. As are the sidepods. The sidepod intake appears to have moved back 100mm or so, more or less to the location of the vertical panel line on the W13 sidepod. The top edge of the inlet is much higher. Much closer to the Mid-wing trailing edge. The head rest, and cockpit generally seem to be in the same place.The airbox does not seem to have changed significantly, though my lines are wrong in x-y plane cross section. Top of chassis forward of cockpit seems to have dropped. Not sure this is possible. (The driver has to go somewhere.) The forward part of the nose also seems to be different, higher in the W14. Though I am not completely sure of myself here because the correlation process depends on the position of the wheels and fixed points on the car. These relationships may change on the w14 compared to the W13. One reference I use is the nose. If it has moved, I will need to account for that which I haven't at the moment. However, I think the overall correlation and conclusions are probably OK. So the other thing about the nose is that it seems a lot slimmer vertically.
Wheelbase seems to be unchanged at 3.6m. Max width across the tires is 2m front and rear, though some of the pictures suggest front track might be slightly less. Again I have not checked it yet. Currently I haven't put any camber on the fronts. Floor is not worth discussing yet. Bib wing seems unchanged though. Outer floor guide vane is a similar shape but either smaller or a little further back as the slope on the floor seems further back. Vanes in front of sidepod inlet are different but they have changed so often during W13 development that that's not a surprise.
Well that's enough for one post. Other views to follow
