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.

Not clear how much 'sidepod exits' Mercedes have, but their cooling game seems to be the best of all. Also, didn't expect to see Redbull's overall cooling exit area to be smaller than the Mclaren. Amidst all the internal turmoil within the team, Redbull engineers seem to have unlocked something serious with cooling design in the Austria upgrade, especially considering the air-to-air intercooler that they are adamant to hold on to, which no other team does, AFAIK.
