Lotus E20 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.

Grosjean: Hydraulic failure (high pressure).

Raikkonen: Repairs to rear wing DRS cable broken (wing stayed open during installation lap).

Lots of new parts on the E20 this weekend: Floor, front wing, trackrods, engine covers, barge boards. Should make us two tenths quicker

I thought it may be new FW, but it seems to be old one.

The new FW seems to have split 'Total' fins. Old RW on top - right

They are different, the one in bottom is the latest modification.

Indeed bottom FW is a new one but question was about flatten nose cone. IMHO it's very wide lens angle which skews perspective a lot. Sometimes photographers are so lazy, that they are unable to get back 2 meters and shot with normal angle. This photo probably was taken from 1m!

And they are testing different exhaust positions (+ different central cooling outlets)...

Is it not the hole for the exhaust that's changed? I don't see any difference to the exhausts.
