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.

Ah so it is new. Nice to see a floor tweak as well. More substantial than expected.

I'm guessing this is testing for Hungary. They took the engine cover design to hot tracks like Hungary & Singapore last few years.

Interesting that Mclaren came up with a very similar solution to managing the rear tire squirt as Ferrari.

Remember a few years ago when people used to complain about the simplicity of the bargeboard area of the Macca's in comparison to the competition? :lol:
