I have literally never noticed that or if I had it didn't make enough of an impression to remember but I am paying far more attention to the car's aero bits and bobs than I have for many years. I could only handle looking at 50 different barge board turning vanes and enough winglets to sink a battleship for so long.

Kyle.engineers has been doing a great job of talking us through aero porn this year.


The paused video images and stills of the inlet/outlet vanes is like watching pervy upskirt videos.

Haas posted some on-track pictures/video this morning, and the car looks nothing like the render.

The front wing and sidepod inlets standout immediately as different. Additionally, the video(can't link on my PC) shows they too are running top vented sidepods.

Someone did some amateur CFD modeling to see if the Ferrari idea works.

What's really interesting is the drag benefit - tub-sidepod model had around 11% less drag than base model!

People are big mad about Albon's helmet having the Red Bull logo front & center

Isn't he still under contract with Red Bull and just on loan to Williams?

He's not with RBR anymore. He is still sponsored by Thai Red Bull.

Not Thai Red Bull, just regular. The Thai owners are sponsoring him with their wine though.

Albon is still a Red Bull asset. Dorilton doesn't give a shite, they want the money.

I like the pink car more than the blue car.

They are both horrific though.

Alpine with pink accents

All pink isn’t terrible, but why? Last year looked so fresh.

It is a reenactment of Nikita's first run in the simulator.

Seen elsewhere. Simulation of airflow around the F1-75 and W13. My understanding is that it shows the wide sidepods on the Ferrari do a better job eliminating drag from the rear tires. FWIW



The image below seems to show the W13 has more downforce in the floor. The guy running all these said the MB had better downforce but more drag than the Ferrari.
