During the test days we will see whether we can successfully implement this solution.'

Is this interpretation too?
Which direction do you interpret them to have gone?

It's not confirmation of zeropods though.

I don't think anyone could actually quantify zeropod given there was a pod, or the W14 nearpod which itself wasn't an identical iteration of the idea. The bottom line is, it's an idea. right? A direction.
Seems plausible to assert they're going Mercedes route from Marko's comments.
Put that together with the Autosport article and confirmation bias let's you join the dots. But it's still not confirming that they're going to rock up with a midwing, extremely slim sidepods with vertical inlets and little to no undercut this season"We don't have it as extreme [as Mercedes], but we have it in a similar direction in terms of the idea."
for the naming it's just some want to play mental gymnastics, zeropods is how the mercedes concept was named it doesn't mean it doesn't have sidepods they are just smallQuantum wrote: ↑20 Feb 2024, 17:26The hoo haa surrounding Venturiations post though.Cs98 wrote: ↑20 Feb 2024, 17:14I don't think anyone is disputing that they're moving in that direction, see the engine cover.

The hoo haa is only stemming from the first two words of the post, which I believe you have now read and why you deleted your previous post where you said he was "only reposting quotes from an article".

This relevant? Some lady fan took a picture with Max and now we need to know her identity?

As for crusading, I've no idea what you mean when he's literally posted a link to show quotes suggesting theyre going the Merc direction. Why is the unquantifiable and fabricated terminology(zeropod was made up) such a contentious issue?
First two words of that post were (before he just now edited it to remove them ) "ZEROPOD confirmed". No such thing was confirmed by Marko in the article that followed. V has been obsessing over the zeropod for over a year. Last year at launch he went through the trouble of trying to tell everyone the W14 in fact had smaller sidepods than the W13 when everyone could see the opposite was true. It's a crusade alright. Read his recent post here talking about "ideology" and proving Merc was right.Quantum wrote: ↑20 Feb 2024, 17:43(That was replying to a deleted post.
