Substantial update to the diffuser geometry
Those covers are over the lower side crash structures.mwillems wrote: ↑18 Mar 2023, 12:18Why do these shapes look so different? The second picture from practise shows that area to rise above the level of the floor like a knuckle, the first from Thursday is quite different. On the picture from the side it looks the the area has been designed to be easily replaced, a modular part. On both picturs that area looks in different condition to the floor around it.
This is the area some thought was a hole from looking at some of the the Feb test pictures.
Looks like you can see the reinforcing of the wheel brow here too.

But why the difference between the pics, that surely isn't a trick of the light?djos wrote: ↑18 Mar 2023, 12:42Those covers are over the lower side crash structures.mwillems wrote: ↑18 Mar 2023, 12:18Why do these shapes look so different?

I think they just stand out due to the difference in finish. The covers appear to have a smoother finish and are likely just a thinner carbon. To me I can’t see any real change from the last race.mwillems wrote: ↑18 Mar 2023, 12:44But why the difference between the pics, that surely isn't a trick of the light?djos wrote: ↑18 Mar 2023, 12:42Those covers are over the lower side crash structures.mwillems wrote: ↑18 Mar 2023, 12:18Why do these shapes look so different?

You may be right, it just looks so different between the two, not even close to the same.
Agreed, it’s a very big contrast in surface finish. It’s almost like they sanded off the lacquer from the main floor section.mwillems wrote: ↑18 Mar 2023, 13:07You may be right, it just looks so different between the two, not even close to the same.
