It seems that the base of the RW pylon that crosses the exhaust pipe is perpendicular to the air's direction/to the car's axis, like a small airbrake...

interesting angle to observe the side-pod undercut and the engine cover area as well:

Could anyone explain why this is done? Wasnt like this before the Chinese GP, correct?

Im sorry, there was a post in between I see now..
I was talking about the asymetrical engine cover.. It wasn't like this in the first few races correct? Was wondering why it would be shaped like this, except for making room for parts underneath...

Quite some changes at STR for this GP, also with the new rear wing which looks quite sexy tbh..

Cooling. Maybe they need to cool more the LHS radiatiors than the RHS and that's a way to control/reduce aero losses

[matt21]

I have not seen the engine installation yet, but I believe, they have the intercooling radiator in one side pod and the water cooler in the other. MAybe we should look out for some pictures to clarify

Interesting also to see how all that smoke, which in the past could have been expected to go under the floor, all goes away from the car's centerline and even more so near the tarmac. Floor sealing in action. That's one strong Y250 vortex!

Nice shot ons STR's asymmetric cooling outlets: https://twitter.com/SomersF1/status/721346537712984067

Or is the lack of wheel rotation messing up all the flows, not to mention being about to turn into the hairpin before the back Strait in Bahrain and therefore not moving terribly quickly...
