At least that hidious blue is gone... Just way too much black...
I don't mind the blue, I'd like just a touch tastefully used on the sidepods to break up the black.
Like Pato’s Arrow / McLaren?

Old-spec rear wing seen. Might be doing back-to-back testing with the new one in FP1

So far everything is going according to plan. Curious if we will see the updated bottom today and whether it will be visible to the eye?

I don't think the floor on for pitstop practice is new but it's fairly common to not run new/limited components during pitstop practice unnecessarily. Could still come

It looks like it's an old bottom, or the changes are under the floor.

Now it make sense the "stelth" livery.We will try and hide as much as possible with the carbon reflections. It is almost impossible from these pictures to understand the new air flow
There's always dazzle livery they could resort to.

It's a good looking car, just needs a good livery to show it.

From the article, Lando seems pretty optimistic, sounds like the numbers are encouraging. So hopefully, it'll translate to good performance on the track.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?

Oh yes, nice spot. Something like that just running down. personally I wouldn't add any orange parallel to it, just a hint of blue running down.

Interesting, I can't see any real pictures of Landos car, so you'd assume we won't get details of the update until tomorrow, or did I miss something?

I've spent half the day battling with someone in IT telling me that a cleansed data landscape isn't important for an AI implementation so my brain is frazzled.

No pictures of Lando’s car yet… So yeah, we may have to wait until tomorrow

Yeah, let's wait until tomorrow. And there on the track we will see new details. I think during practice they will have time to take photographs in good resolution.
