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.

Toto talked about upcoming upgrades for Austria and Silverstone, and they deliver. Didn't see that many changes on the Mercedes contender since Spain 2017.

Looks like a new concept for the radiator inlet. The outer edge is cut back. As though the opening extends around the side a little. And a horizontal wing-like lower edge and extension connecting to the X-wing, similar to the RB14.

Looks like they are slowly morphing into what some of the others are doing with the side pod cooling inlets.

Pretty much, it's taken teams a long time to figure it out and copy though.

God forbid Ferrari should have a single turning vane attached to their mirror, while the rest of the field have 2, 3, 4 without so much as a mention. :roll:

I know. Still an interesting contradiction of their own rule. Cool so it only applies when attached to the halo. Why (Like logistically, safety-wise, cost wise)? Just cause...

I believe the fin has been beefed up significantly.
