... Sooooo, where were their tokens invested?

Here's what James Allison said

We have spent our tokens, but we won’t reveal how we used them just yet. That’ll become clear in good time.”

I'm guessing that they spent token on something HPP worked on (that "hill" on bodywork, Allison mentioned they worked to improve performance, get extra horsepower or sth like that) and floor/rear aerodynamics (diffusor included) - they haven't really shown the rear of the car, so it is correct in my mind to suspect they developed it quite heavy.

Actually quite liked the livery. Roll on testing to see how she goes!

From the poor pictures I thought they had somehow integrated the camera housing into the front suspension!

I believe the bulge is from their new cooling system they trialled in Abu Dhabi?

So the way James Allison just flat out boasted about the power gains of the HPP unit.

He went straight to the "Sexy" bulge and said that was all about the power unit and the gains they have maid. Yikes...

confidence on that.

Well played by Allison. Strike fear straight into the heart of the enemy.

The digital renders are quiet clearly different to the physical car they showed... Take the sidepod side-fence for example, only 4 louvers on the render, 5 on the actual car.... There are other easy-to-spot differences in the bargeboard area aswell.

Said they had to move the fuel pump further back on the engine and it would cause a bulge in the bodywork.

Almost looks like no PU exhaust compared to the renders.

What's the advantage of swapping the brake duct shape 180 degrees?

I'd assume it's all for aero gains further back.

So no details on:

• Floor (I wonder what they came up with)

• Diffusor

• Rear Break Solution
