This is the most interesting front wing ive seen of all the 2024 cars, only thing that remotely similar is the 2023 alpine

Alpine style inlet, while 2 other teams pivoted to Merc style inlet. The cannon seems to be less aggressive? Barely any downwashing gully compared to most teams. Very interesting front wing.

The digital renders are absolute garbage, as per modern F1 (not just Mercedes) tradition...

Front wing reminds me of the 2023 Alfa Romeo

Very unique front wing, the sidepod intakes also look unique in this age, and I really like this silver/black livery ...

Looks fast, hopefully that translate on the track
front wing and side pods are interesting for a launch spec
