A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter does not belong here.
Ok.. Does anyone believe the rumours about the liquid metal suspension system? They said it is mercury based or some sort of heavy alloy used in ultra small diameter tubing. I don't believe it though.

On the last tease, I'm unsure where the lower piece is coming from.
The one on the right I suppose is connected to the side elements, but the lower one?
With the new shape for the bargeboard, can something funky be possible and have it somehow attached above the leading edge of the floor?
The image from motorsport was cropped, we can see more of the bottom element + see some of the top mid-wing.
Looks like the intake is going to be quite massive and not split by the crash structure.
Curious why they ended up covering the tire in camo paint as well.
Bottom one is also connected to the bargeboard and also acts as a support.
Frankly i dont see anything weird going on there.
That thick shape in the top right corner though, now that is interesting..
Supports in that area are usually as thin as they possibly can be.

Where did you read that?
That turned out to be hydraulically interconnected (front & rear) suspension, aka FRIC. But the mercury thing was not heard of, once a good understanding of that system came out in the media.
Weird why they have posted such a close up picture of the rim design before even launching the car. Being a render is worse because they show more than pictures in real world lighting. Plus the camo doesn't hide anything either. Ah wellb we'll see :/
