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.

That's normal, most teams are doing something similar around the tea tray.

Not like this tho... They have shovels or wings mounted above (like mercedes) but not what looks like a completely separate element (most likely prone to extreme flex since it's not attached to the main stay of the tee-tray.

Typically the S duct inlets are in the Nose itself, not behind it. So the inlets in the image would have to be for something else.

Mclaren since 2015 features inlets on chassis not on the nose

Can't say that yet since the rest of the bodywork is missing.

Not on the chassis, but under a cover... and the main part of the duct is always in the nose.

Looks like different inlets and tighter midriff on the sidepods, need more angles!
