An extended sidepod panel for Toyota too

By on

Just like Renault copied BMW Sauber's idea already at the beginning of the season, Toyota have now also seen the light and produced a similar item for their TF108. In fact it looks very similar to Renault's sidepod panel extension. On top of that, as indicated in the image, the panel's leading edge is curved slightly inwards on its lower half of the newly added panel. This detail helps to direct air around the sidepods and towards the gearbox area.
Also in their new package update, Toyota have slightly changed their painting scheme as they no longer leave the closed chimneys unpainted, but instead have it painted all red. Hopefully for the car's performance, it means that the chimneys won't have to be opened up anymore.
