sharkfin looks like they went to the WEC race and took it from one of LMP1 cars. And I like that, it is there to do the job and if simple gets it done why complicate it

Is this just a shadow? I haven't seen any other pics of that section from a different angle.

That seems like a tunnel ! Intriguing!

I think that both Sauber and Renault have it. In Sauber it looks like it's covered though. Take a close look in the pictures. I asked the same thing in the other threads.

Same exhaust/wastgate pipes as we saw in the merc fire up video

I am not sure because the sidepods seem quite rounded from several angles, but from a frontal birds-view, it seems that perhaps FI is the first team to broaden the sidepods at the front top, using the extra width allowed, in order to narrow them more going back.

Lots of rake, and the downforce doesn't seem to be working.

Well...

-Almost full-width sidepods, as holm86 alluded to.
-Front wing clearly delineated between sections in front of wheel and sections inboard-of. Resultingly, the outboard vortex tunnel is wider.

It seems the T-tray through the left (right if driving) nostril

Which is probably tied to the headrest design. Something moved down and to the side?

Wider diffuser as the rules allow. Vortex generators on the edge of the diffuser ramp.

Interesting nose, can't tell, are the 'darker' bits funnelling air under the car, into an S Duct style system or just up over the top of the body?

Guess the big hump vanity panel might be covering where an S Duct opening could go?


Turning vanes are interesting too, and the front wing. Quite a 'different' interpretation of the rules than what we've seen so far...

If I had to guess, this bump has hydraulic suspension parts underneath.

Or the bump is just the byproduct of a very high monocoque and a very short/drooping nose...

And yet they didn't put the S-duct they had there last year, and that every other team is adding this year. Maybe they needed space for the added hydraulic part?
