Aston Martin AMR21

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.

Trick of the lighting I think, this is the actual intake.

Gone back to the high sidepod inlet, first adopted in 2019 (left).

The way the sidepods are sculpted in that side on view is so W11 and even W12, not just the slope over the radiators but everything behind that. It's as though Merc helped them with that directly, it looks so identical. I think this car will be a force, Red Bull had better watch their backs

Think they are deceptive, its just dark but they aren't massive.
Also, looks like we should compare this to the W11 instead of last years RP.

I think the engine bulge leaves more space for the cooler on top to come forward and lower.

It seems these Mercedes engined cars have a lower "back" than the other teams? Less affected by cross winds perhaps...

Big thanks. Good pictures, inlets aren’t that big. Normal size...

I'm glad that someone has something smart to say.

So, they copied themselves. Mercedes is the last car that introduced high inlets, in 2020. And RP went backwards in that part of the car for 2020. Till 2019 they followed Red Bull design, and high rake. Last year, they went to 1 year trip studying Mercedes philosophy. Now they know how both concept works. This year, they have many things from that Mercedes concept, logically as they using most of the allowed Mercedes parts. But with some things they are more like Red Bull, as rounded sidepods.

The choice of green for the Aston green and overall livery look really good.

Looks as an Aston Martin should look.

Note the supplementary intake below the main one. Different shape/size but the same location as the Mercedes.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Aggressive floor treatment with a cutout and finlets for vortex generation and sealing the floor. Haven't seen this on any of the cars revealed yet, will be interesting to compare with the W12 when Mercedes unhides their floor.
