Haas VF-18 Ferrari

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.

The wishbones are beautifully blended into the body. How does the articulation work - is there a cylindrical depression in the bodywork & a cylindrical inner surface to the fairing? Or is it something else?

They don't use a joint like that, they just flex the material on the connection itself, they often have a few interleaved thin titanium pieces, some even do it in the carbon.
That way you have very little friction compared to a joint.

Looks like they have ditched their trademark machined metal front bulkhead for an all-composite chassis:

Also a nice shot of the nose from the front:
