The cascade looks to be the same, I think it's the angle of the picture. The verticle endplate that is now one piece bends sharply outward at the end. The horizontal strake at the outside of the endplate is maybe doing something different than turbo was initially thinking?Ferraripilot wrote:The front wing is entirely new with the exception of the 4th and 5th elements, so it appears. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, elements now extend individually inward to the front wing reference area with lovely detail, comparing to Red Bull who extend two elements inward to the reference area. It could be the angle of the shots, but the updated cascade appears to have a more acute angle of attack and more surface area as well.
I think it's quite clear that it hasn't passed the most recent crash test right before the Australian GP. I get the impression that we're talking about internal crash tests...no way of knowing how many there were, but suffice it to say that the nose is not ready yet.dans79 wrote:has anyone seen nose photos from today? The amus article is kind of ambiguous, it's not clear if they mean the first test failure or the second.

Looks like the strakes they added aren't quit fitting with the rear jack. They've also block off some of the starter motor hole. Good look at the new monkey seat too.

You can see they are damaged. Under the crash structure.mantikos wrote:Owen.C93 wrote:

Are you saying that because the corners are reinforced with metal or was it something else?
I don´t think that´s reinforced metal. Seems like carbon that´s been sanded down by the rear jack.mantikos wrote:Owen.C93 wrote:
