Striking. RB by far the most "transparent" from the back. All other cars are crammed with wings, flaps and diffuser, cant get a tennisball through.

No wonder they have low drag.

Can't understand why the Williams designers didn't increase the distance between the front axle and floor inlets.

That's such a basic fundamental error that should have been fixed by the second year in this regulation cycle.

Lack of funding.

Not sure what you are seeing, Ferrari has by far the cleanest rear end and tightest engine cover...

Is it just a coincidence that every car looks like the front tire has been abused, except for the RB in the first set of head on photos?

That's kinda hard to believe. This is the same team that brought a large update package last season so financially they seem decent.

Also, AT's technical director said that for them it wasn't expensive as they simply modified the existing moulds to increase the distance between the inlet and the front suspension.

They lost the Latifi money, Capito, and the technical director late last year.

Williams has been a bit of a headless chicken. It’s not surprising that they have not made changes that seem obvious

I am talking about the rear rear. The diffuser, beamwing and brakes winglets "wall"

Not sure why Mercedes missed an opportunity to learn on Ferrari's mistakes from last year with such a small DRS flap chord... Definitely wasn't evident from standalone photo.

Dan Fallows strikes again! The AM front suspension looks very RB18, except for the pushrod…

Perhaps that too will change next year
