What's that logo on the nose just above Automation Anywhere? Looks like a nee addition.

Above is McLaren Shadow, even higher, I can’t consider what kind of logo. Perhaps later photos of slightly better quality will appear.

New Merdedes diffuser



Kinda similar diffuser upgrade to the one Mclaren had made during pre season.

New diffuser? Albert Fabrega is not sure yet

Sainz: small things here, not until silverstone a package

found this from testing,from the deloite announcement today, sneaky as they are this is from their app, on the website its different,no matter,is that not a lot of room in the airbox

Wow, I definitely wouldn't have expected that much space under that. I really thought it would be filled with radiators or ducts. I don't know how much aerodynamic benefits would it bring if they tightened it up though. I doubt it is significant because that area is not really critical. Just a little more space for the air to hit the rear-wing but it isn't too much. They might be keeping it like that to avoid any heat-related reliability problems, since the benefits of making the bodywork tighter there are not worth the risk of not finishing a race at all.

Anyone know what this is for ?

You’d want to avoid placing anything heavy such as radiators in that space anyway as it would raise the CG too much.

Maybe to draw some further markings for pit stops and/or for pit stop practice.
Definitely weird and probably over engineered if that is its purpose.
