Nose looks to slim to look good. rw pylon seems still to be rubbish...they had ears on the 2014 car, like a F-duct. I assume it's for the intercooler/cooling, as the Williams also hage a much bigger cooling opening compared to the 2014 car. The supposed Ferrari intake looks a lot bigger, too; suggesting all cars will feature something similar.FrukostScones wrote:is it for intercooler cooling? or what else could it be?ScottB wrote:What's with all the air box cooling?

car looks chunky and reminds me of 2014...
Good point. The nose tip regs only stipulate 40mm width worth of 'blockage', so Lotus had a little bit of freedom beside the nose tip that they have chosen not to use. This could indicate a different philosophy or a temporary launch spec only nose.turbof1 wrote:The narrow nose suggests a complete different philosophy, reducing blockage at the sides, suggesting they want to get the airflow around the nose directed underneath the chassis.
