No, reflection!

I think its not reflection...need more pics but i think its on Alonso's car only( whit new PU)

Hard to tell without better pics but I'm thinking it is a reflection, you can sort of make out the reflection in that area & it looks to be of the aero rake

I've zoomed in on the picture I think there is a opening what do you think?

[DiogoBrand]

It's clearly a reflection.

It's clearly a reflection.

Not so sure. Zoomed a little more and cropped to the section in question. The picture above showing no slot was BUT's car. Seems to be just on ALO's car with the new PU.

[godlameroso]

It's almost like UFO spotters man. In any case you're not going to see anything with such low resolution pictures.

Indeed, if people start believing instead of looking for evidence...

[Alonso Fan]

if it really is an inlet, then what the hell is this thing?



why isn't it a 'clean' gap?

it's a reflection, i'm 99.8% sure

possibly a reflection from the aero rake, or some other metal pipe in the garage

[michl420]

I am 98% sure it is a reflection. Also this area is part of the monocoque, so you need a new crash test for the chassis if the team will make a new opening.

Good point, here is the #14 car, surprisingly absent of any intakes.


And here it is again, still no intake:

[Alonso Fan]

Now I'm 100% sure its a reflection

[RedNEO]

I'm sure 60% of the time it's a reflection every time

[DiogoBrand]

You can see that the "inside" of the opening is exactly the same colour as the rest of the car, and if they decided to make an opening there, it definitely wouldn't be that crooked.
Zoom in all you want, there's no hole there.
