reflection of the ceiling I think

Why they couldn't cut the floor in front of the exhaust pipe (like RB does on the side of diffuser next to the tyre) in order to blow underneath? Or maybe partially underneath and another part upon it, like Renault does?

i think it could be a good idea if that does not compromise flow around the sidepods too much. ther is no rule related problema as log as you make a cutout in the floor and wth a curved leading edge or flat low wall you force exhaust to fin their way below the floor, as rbr, ferrari, mclaren and renault are doing in other zones of the floor

Vortex generator! Air staller! Football damage!

Is it just me or does this car look more and more like that early teaser picture? It´s obviously hard to see much from the teaser but the top of the sidepods looks more like these new ones than the ones from Barcelona/Melbourne I think.



Not that I want to make a big fuzz about the teaser, it´s just something that struck me all through testing. That the top of the sidepods didn´t look like in the picture. Though I didn´t think too much about it until now.

Precisely. Their version of course.

as later photos made clear the photo was taken outside...so "the ceiling" was the sky...

The more I compare to other pics, I believe it is just a reflection or sorts.

MB logo is not painted.

Compare the pics posted by siskue2005, those shots were taken from completely different directions, but both have exactly the same "reflection" on exactly the same position? Come on

If you look good you can clearly see the reflection of the metal bar holding the parts...

Not denying it^^, but that lowered part is hardly only a reflection. We'll see

If it's not a reflection, then its interesting what the benefits are.

Edit: Some HighRes pics would be nice
