@nasce1 @suttonimages @Lotus_F1Team There are minor differences between the two pic.twitter.com/jOLLkcg4

The most important difference in (awful ofcourse) suspension is betwen mounting points rear wishbone's arms.

E21 bottoming out. Again, the same as E20 was doing during most of the year.

Thx for the HR pics.
Question is: Are those just cooling outlets (the rounded ones in front of the monkey seat) or are they connected to the sidepod under-exhaust tunnels like RedBull ?

[korzeniow]

Why they put temperature sensors on the rear winf main plate?

[GrizzleBoy]

Maybe to trace any straying hot gases not going where they should be?

[PhillipM]

That's a whole lot of camber gain built into the rear.

why is it??? been wondering the same.

[MarkedOne8]

Mostly, the aim is to have as lower as possible plank to get better aero performances in corners but without bottoming out because that reduces the top speed due to increased friction. Lotus is using either to low ride height or to soft springs.

Well it seems the transition to ramp exhaust isn´t giving them much trouble, so far. I was a bit worried with that...

[Blackout]

And E21's tunnel is larger than RB9's

[Blackout]

It's me or the curved thing that 'connects' the tea tray to the chassis has a cylinder/tube shape ?

[turbof1]

Is blowing the splitter useful?
