What would happen to the flow on the section of white barge board that is 90 deg to oncoming flow? Would the flow just trip over it? Seems like there would be a lot of turbulence.

Brian, look at this pic.

The front wing is "managing" the air flow up (into the wishbones & further into the rad opening) & to either side (around the tire & under the nose or beside the nose uprights). Air does not hit the bargeboard directly (90 deg. to it) from the front.

A few shots from today

doesn't the new exhaust look lower down than before?

I think is the same only with small changes

Some pictures make it look that way, but after looking at pictures from Canada I don't believe so. I think the only real difference is the cooling vent/slot

[amouzouris]

cooling vent slot and a different angle of the channel...it is looking a little bit more outwards

I've been discussing this with others. I'm not so sure the channel angle has changed.

Is there a change to the suspension?

[Nando]

I thought at first the housing was lower but now it´s fairly clear it´s identical except for the vent.
Same distance as well. (to the driver)

Agreed. At first I thought it may have been moved back towards the driver a bit, but it hasn't. Many are convinced it's a new exhaust but it's not other than the vent.

@alogc It's virtually impossible for us to know if there is a new suspension.

Valencia Thursday

In my opinion this isn't the same exaust used in FP2, the reason why we saw a vent is because they cut a vent into the old (Canada) one

Valencia FP2

[alogoc]

it's slightly different!

[amouzouris]

i think its slightly different too...and Tombazis said that they were going to bring some different exhaust versions here as well...and i don't think he only meant o small cooling hole...

[Nando]

Must be internally then as it looks like a carbon-copy of the Canada exhaust minus the hole.
