Wait, there is a gap on the FW pylons? You can see bodywork through it on the second pic.

I mentioned this a bit ago, is it broken, or are those proper gaps?

If they were broken it would explain why the wing has such an aggressive stance

Interestingly Vettel has only completed 15 laps so far today in testing.

and the wing had those marks before it got "broken"

Scaled up section of the pylons

AMuS just reported RBR needs a gearbox change.

This is what I meant.

notice that nice big hole below the front suspension arm ?

I wonder where they are getting the airflow from to feed it and blow the diffuser?

I have tried to bring out as much detail in PS as I could

I have noticed on another photo that there are yellow graphics on the strut which could make it look like it was showing the yellow graphic on the bodywork behind as if it was broken?

Hey guys, impulsive thought.. could the sidepod bridge near the exhaust be hollow, feeding sidepod air into the floor, or above the floor just inside the inside of the wheels?


That sidepod bridge has bugged me since it was discovered.. there must be some reason for it to be shaped as it is, and fed into the floor as it is (beyond just aerodynamics).

Lots of flo-vis on turning vanes & splittle/t-tray

There can't be any holes in the floor

Wow, Horner really thinks people are stupid...
Hope FIA does smth about them...

If the pylons were cracked, then surely that would affect the neutral section of the wing as well as the flaps + endplates?

Exactly and if only one was damaged why are both endplates at the same angle
