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.

Engine cover is slightly different with a bigger exit hole(very small increase compared to what was needed last year).

Also Massa with just one T wing.

This image is the most interesting!
The density of Kiel probes are higher in the upper side of the frame.
So the aero team is looking for more detail info in that area!

from Wikipedia!
A Kiel probe is a device for measuring stagnation pressure or stagnation temperature in fluid dynamics. It is a variation of a Pitot probe where the inlet is protected by a "shroud" or a "shield." Compared to the Pitot probe, it is less sensitive to changes in yaw angle, and is therefore useful when the probe's alignment with the flow direction is variable or imprecise.

One additional comment from my side: looks like the rack with Kiel probes has a much better build quality.
It is build with better attention to details.

Williams is using hot/very hot air to keep disk brakes in the right temperature zone!
