She do be skinny
The SIS-wing has been re-profiled too and it appears that the stacked VGs have been removed (although that may be a bolt-on panel).organic wrote: ↑27 Jul 2023, 16:47The slab-sides are gone and modified to include a long shallow undercut, similar to RB's upside down tunnel that might be helping to power up flow to the rear tyre squirt region. But seems the limitation of the chassis/mid-wing that undercut cannot be deep under the inlet like other teams. Seems that's the compromise here.
Yes good spot on the SIS-wing changes. Definitely something completely new there as those VGs have been there since W13 launch I think ?Just_a_fan wrote: ↑27 Jul 2023, 17:09The SIS-wing has been re-profiled too and it appears that the stacked VGs have been removed (although that may be a bolt-on panel).organic wrote: ↑27 Jul 2023, 16:47The slab-sides are gone and modified to include a long shallow undercut, similar to RB's upside down tunnel that might be helping to power up flow to the rear tyre squirt region.

Need to see the whole car to see how the sidepods have changed along their length. Maybe some waterslide-type surfaces have been allowed by the bulging upper surface of the sidepod rear?

Could be wrong, but I think the lower part of the sidepod has been squished inwards, rather than the upper part bulged outwards (forming the sloping shoulder)? As previously I'd expect them to already have been up to the max width of reg box with the sidepod (as are most other teams) to keep the front tyre wake outboard
Here's some photos
Wow, funky. With this picture I'm thinking you're right that the upper part is bulged out, but with floor fitted it'd be easier to see relative proportions a bit easier
