what changed is the height of the rear wing main plane, if you use the lowest of the 5 slits in the endplate you can se clearly they later in the day was running a higher df wing

These show the Sidepod Undercut quite good. Enjoy @Jef Patat

Oh, I love you more, you put the phone down first

I read on amus that Boullier is mentioning the ass is fatter due to a bigger undercut. He's also mentioning 'extreme solutions' on the inside and full ERS for a complete lap

It is well known at paddock level that one of the key factors explaining Vettel's style and speed are the aero gains of his eggplant-shaped craneal configuration.

I saw it too, just check the length of the floor

This car is starting to remind me of the old McLaren. The one winning championships. Okay that was going too far, maybe in two years.

That undercut is huge though. They have more free floor space than any other team. Are there any aerodynamic advantages if the floor can bend upward? Is this a direction they are taking?

It is curious that the front floor strakes adopted by Mercedes are on the Mp4-x concept but Mclaren haven't adopted yet
