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.

The connecting Part to the Sidepod where i drew the Arrow is new too right?
Image
Edit: Maybe i'm just seeing things. The Part doesn't seem to be there in the next Photo.
Maybe it's a Part of the new Floor that Fernando got fitted during FP1. Don't know when each Photo was made.

Does the Text talk about the Hot Air Outlet? If so yes, it seems they are trying the smaller one again.

The Area around the Tire Squirt slots looks weird (shiny whereas the area mor to the Inside of the Car looks matte)

Surprised to see it's illegal to advertise alcohol in Russia, Chandon logo looks cooler that way than the default though.
