A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

It appears as though the top corners of that radiator are responsible for the two small bulges in the bodywork when using the narrow engine cover.

The cooler for the gearbox doesn't have to be that big.

ERS is reasonable I guess, but looking at the size of the STR intercooler and considering the location I still think it could be the intercooler, or at least one stage of it.

The torque is much higher, so bigger cooler might be necessary. Also, the proximity of turbo and exhaust might put more strain temperature-wise, so again bigger cooling,

Also this has to be the intercooler right? Looks too large for gearbox and it is positioned close to the turbo.

Also you can see where u shaped detail for the starter hole for the central channel in the diffuser starts.
