I count at least 3 hydraulic/pneumatic hoses and junctions coming out of the channels adjacent the tethers, no?

Really?

And here I was starting to think Lotus was becoming cool again after the whole naming saga. Sigh. Back to zero.

I've disabled the IMG tags, no need to re-quote it too many times. I think I see position sensors close to the torsion springs?

That wing looks very damaged.

Damaged, but not TOTALED.

Uppps. Romain Gorjean seems have lost the TO

That's confirms it. The team had to pass crash test again with the sidepods update, like Mercedes did

Q&A with James Allison before Canada

How different will the car be?

We’ll be taking a smaller rear wing with a front wing set up to balance that. One of the key factors is to make sure we have our braking configuration correctly set up with good levels of cooling to survive what is a very arduous race for the brakes. Luckily the car has been quite good on brakes throughout the year to date with no real issues to report.

How much of a concern is braking in Canada and what can you do because of this?

There are several high speed straights into low speed corners so the brakes receive repeated extreme use over the course of a lap. Canada is the most challenging circuit of the year from the point of view of the brake wear. Brake wear is largely a function of brake temperature, and so a lot of work must be done (using tools such as CFD, the wind tunnel and a brake dynamometer rig) to ensure adequate aerodynamic cooling of the disks and pads.

The upper one is China spec, the bottom one is Barcelona spec but in Monaco configuration (has gurney flaps).

I'm supprised they brought bigger downforce frnt wings. In Bahrain they used Melbourne spec FW over China spec...

i wondered if team decided to race with high front downforce wing, and low downforce rear wing. what can you gain in this configuration? too much front downforce over rear can hurt car stability?

i know last year they brought special front wing for canada race, and it didnt work out well, to low downforce numbers. and because of that they had problems in race.
