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.

OMG they went through the trouble of editing the side impact structures out of the picture before posting it on f1.com! How dumb do they think the interwebz is? :D

Specially when the unedited picture has been posted on Red Bull's official Twitter account...

Basically the good news for Red Bull is Gary Anderson ain’t that impressed :D

That said, he was right about the Ferrari last year, so let’s see.

Quiet sure the intercooler has changed,

1) it must be on one side of the sidepod while the other is for engine cooling

(or)

2) gone for a complete change in the intercooler to something like with the Ferrari water coolers sitting on top of the engine

Don't mind him. Gary Anderson is like Chael Sonnen on MMA predictions. Gary in my opinion has short memory, one day criticizes the other day praises the same design philosophy. I don't wanna say it, not a hater but most of his stuff is clickbait. That's why I unsubscribed from Motorsport Prime, wasn't impressed at all.

I reworked the hi-res pics with PS for better details.

In this photo there looks like a hole in the centre of the Halo.
Anyone know what would that be for ?

Looks like the side pods are at the minimum bodywork width. Would be interesting to see how wide the side pods are compared to say, the 2016 and earlier cars.

Sweet jesus that is a magnificent looking machine.
I see they brought back the ultra-extreme overcut sidepods they used to run.

Interesting see the teams having so many different parts on the cars that was made by another team.
It almost looks like they have licensing deals with each other.

And people call me an idiot for suggesting that the teams simply share data to reduce huge reverse engineering expenses... we effectively have the sharing now (these cars are proof positive), except that each team currently spends a enormous amount investigating the other 9 teams...

Another team which has been figuring out the need to have a second rear wing in front of the sidepods air intake.
Hope they figure out how to place this structure in the same vertical plan with the car`s CoG ...
