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.

Article is in dutch, but the pic is interesting related to your question:
http://www.formule1.nl/nieuws/detail/mc ... duitsland/

From this pic it is also clear the undercut to the back of the sidepod is much larger than before. I would love to see a comparisson of that.

The undercut at the rear is indeed much larger... The undercut at the front though is much smaller, they've basically just shifted components forward.
