Yeah strange right?
Launch car had the flow conditioners at the top of the sidepods, and the new deflector on the side. Also a new front nose cone which didnt seem to have the pelican bulge underneath, and also a wider tip at the front. The sidepods on todays car also look a different.

They already have run the launch spec flow conditioners today. They are probably testing out several solutions.

pic please
the lauch car was a mock up (a fake),
the car they run today is the one from the cgi, only that the tub and side pods looks very much latest E20 spec, but it is longer and compare airbox with lauch "e21" and also front suspension, exhaust etc..

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.
