this appears to be the new front suspension.

Personal guess, they have a ferrari style inwash rear
Will this change the flow structures around the car to something more akin to the Aston/RedBull? I’m thinking back to the CFD that you did for Shub that showed the ‘off-body’ flows as being significantly different previously.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑24 May 2023, 15:20The main difference at the front is flow conditioning on top of the floor, they wanted to keep all of the airflow going down the undercut and to the rear. Mid wing looks to be a winglet now, so they are relaying on its vorticity for some downstream flow conditioning.
The really interesting bit will be the rear end, whether they went for downwash or kept the inwash.
Indeed. Pretty basic shape based on what we have seen, and the undercut is fairly vanilla if not unimpressive for a 2023 car.
I agree. I think as a result of the SIS location from the original W13 design, they basically are stuck with an "overbite" abomination of an inlet. That will probably change again for next year.
there is still some space to the right when the vertical segment comes down from the midwing
