You're seeing ghosts. Do you speak German and have you watched the interview the quotes are taken from? He's talking about the car as a whole not the sidepods specifically
He's asked if it resembles the mercedes zeropod design so of course he will then make reference to it. He's not the one who brought it up
and he answered that it's similar, what's going on? for the past 2 years every car that switched to downwashing sidepods was refered to as redbull sidepods or concept even if it was only similar
and now that Helmut say they are going with a similar zeropods concept and we have reports from motorsport saying they are going for zeropods suddenly we can't say zeropods anymore?
He says the RB20 has similar ideas to the W13/W14 after he's asked if the car has resemblance to the Mercedes.
You have interpreted that to mean zeropods
direct quote from the article
i didn't interprete anything, since the report from autosport about zerodpods you keep spinning this everytime someone mentions it, who has more credibility?
In an interview with ServusTV ,
Helmut Marko has now officially confirmed that Red Bull has gone in a similar direction to Mercedes in the past when it comes to side pods. "It's more than an evolution. It's a small revolution," says Marko about the RB20.
He emphasizes that his own solution this year is "not as extreme" as Mercedes' in the past, but he also admits that the idea was "in a similar direction" as the team from Brackley back then.
"And we will now see in the tests whether we can successfully implement this solution, or let's say a similar solution," says Marko, who emphasizes that the concept that Mercedes tried out two years ago is completely logical in theory .
Because the bottom line is simply to have “less air resistance”. Marko explains with a smile: "Adrian Newey would always prefer cars without radiators. But of course the engine people won't allow that. But it's logical."
