Picture from YouTube video posted today by the team. Is it the new monocoque? Radiator angle looks more "flat" than last year, what do you guys think?

MAYBE this the old AMR23 car in the background?

there are 2 side impact structures on each side. upper and lower. Most teams position the upper one somewhere behind the inlet area and the lower 1 in the floor. They already had one positioned in the floor last year.organic wrote: ↑27 Jan 2024, 19:52Not sure about "very different"OnEcRiTiCaL wrote: ↑27 Jan 2024, 19:13New AMR24 sidepods looks very different

That sidepod inlet looks wide, high with an underbite just like the AMR23.
However it does seem to suggest the impact structure moved to the floor with deeper undercut (like other teams) IF this is AMR23
Note that the angle change could mean that it looks different in the Bts pics

Could be a perspective issue or the general blurriness, but it looks like the angle of the radiators changed a bit.wiktor977 wrote: ↑27 Jan 2024, 17:57https://imgur.com/a/kQFjvYo

I'm pretty sure this is the underbelly of the concept car they keep. Unfortunately I couldn't find any photos, if anyone can find them send them here so we can make a comparison. I repeat, however, that I am sure it is the concept.organic wrote: ↑27 Jan 2024, 19:52Not sure about "very different"OnEcRiTiCaL wrote: ↑27 Jan 2024, 19:13New AMR24 sidepods looks very different

Is there any particular reason why would they still keep and work on a concept car at this point?xReVo wrote: ↑28 Jan 2024, 05:23I'm pretty sure this is the underbelly of the concept car they keep.

A big secret is being kept about the rear of the car. At the front axle, the FW46 remains true to the proven pushrod concept. "We don't want to reveal what we're doing at the rear yet," regrets Vowles. This is not only due to the fact that the transmission and rear axle are sourced from Mercedes and they do not want to pre-empt their technology partner. Apparently there are far-reaching changes at the rear. Our gut feeling would suggest a switch from the pullrod to pushrod concept, as used by Red Bull, McLaren and Alpine. But perhaps Mercedes has also unearthed something completely new, such as a rocker arm solution.
