Where's the exhaust?

Now for the close up comparison shots between the RB5/6/7 and this car on the rear end, both from the top and from the side. Another V-nose, which is rather interesting. And... are those RW endplates sculpted?

[imightbewrong]

Is it just me, or does it look like the ARW will work by sliding the upper element down? Must be just me because that can hardly be allowed can it?

I thought the rules were pretty explicit in that the pivot was at the trailing edge.

Where is Petrov???

Not allowable as per the rules for safety reason, in case of failure of system.

Then it is just me. Probably the sculpting of the end plates that makes it look like that.

Everywhere

I find exhaust

- When viewed from the side of the car at any longitudinal vertical cross section, the physical point of
rotation of the rearmost and uppermost closed section must be fixed and located no more than
20mm below the upper extremity and no more than 20mm forward of the rear extremity of the area
described in Article 3.10.2 at all times.
- The design is such that failure of the system will result in the uppermost closed section returning to
the normal high incidence position.

Autosport takes not of the tea tray, but why?

So they have a V-nose and Pull rod rears...where is the innovation that Renault were blabbing about?

Would love to see a back to back with the R30. It's really hard to compare it in my head because of the new paint job.

Lowest nose cone so far. Is it the most changed, do you think? Cockpit area looks kinda similar...

It's innovative for them, I guess.
