Lotus E21 Renault

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.

Both the CGI and the presentation cars had the same flow conditioner.

sorry, that is not correct.

The same. There are is an other CGI version where the flow conditioners indeed are different, but clearly both here are the same.

I am not going to invest more time into that discussion. You might be right that it has a slightly different shape, but they still tried the conditioner extended from the sidepod vane.

Checking the pictures, I have noticed they already tried 4 different flow conditioner solutions. Lotus gives high value to this area.

It looks like the intakes for the passive DRS are there but blanked. They must be trying the system out soon.

The nose has the bump under it. I don't think the launch car had it?

just for your info, you can't even notice the difference between the CGI and and a studio shot. try to twist the reality elswhere.

there are two types of CGI released

one showing the jerez spec flow conditioner, the other from the launch car.

they might be testing which provide better air flow to the rear.

wandering why they left it out without trying the device....just increase further drag.

And please take your animosity somewhere else ok? I checked again and you were right about todays one; my screen is not set up correctly and it gave the llusion the conditioner was extended complete to the sidepod. Still, I think you should keep your temper in check.
