Lotus E21 Renault

So they didn't put the panel due weight. Weird; the panel would weight near nothing.

I'm confident that what they mean is "we found some downforce in a loophole in the rules for the vanity cover, but we're keeping it back for the first race".

or that possibly!

It's a painted E20, they don't show their cards.

You font see the exhaust ramp + tunnel ? And downwash foil Before the sidepod. And New fw

Mclaren undercut style sidepods and exhaust... only big visual changes.

Its red bull ramp and tunnel

Oh well I hope Ferrari doesn't care about a few grams... You blew it Lotus.

I wonder if that ramp exhaust is also just for show. The rest of the car is pretty much the e20 and that ramp exhaust was possibly one of their development parts from last year that didn't make it onto the track.

Indeed, by the words he said afterwards that "maybe if they found something". get it through the PR-translator and you get; "We have found something which we aren't going to show"

Nice wing above the small downwash wings

[RicerDude]

Front wing is exactly the same as last year, expecting they are hiding something like this...

We can only hope it's the case...

Today's car/E20: very similar monocoque/bodywork (if not the same):

There is no gain in doing that since the central "spoon" in the front wing is gone and aero neutral. The Ferrari nose hole was there to grab air from that spoon.
