You can see what teams are trying to do here with those sidepod inlet designs. Look how far forward the flow is forced upwards. Meaning there is a huge high pressure area above the floor at the front. Very good sign of here then being low pressure underneath (hopefully).
Afaik last year they did it too, maybe it seems common practice at Aston.
Don’t they have a newly built Wind tunnel? They might need to calibrate that tunnel since it’s coming online later this year.

It sounded to me like they meant an upgrade over last year's car. But I just ran the article through DeepL, it could still be wrong.KimiRai wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 00:44Not sure about the supposed modification Giorgio Piola mentioned (at least I haven't been able to see anything different so far, could be a wrong translation) but on the other hand it does look like it never ran with gills. Could it really be a gill-less car, at least for most races?
There were rumours back in 2023 that Aston's engineers were thinking about a gill-less car to improve efficiency, maybe that is the case
