On the same day as the team revealed a show car in its new 2022 Williams livery, the British team have unleashed the new, metallic blue FW44 out on track at Silverstone for a shakedown.
I don't see it like this. Mclaren side pod is much lower (compare to height of cockpit opening it's like six inches lower) and much fatter at the mid-line as a consequence. Also Mclaren has the huge cannon exit.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 4:59 pmMclaren’s and Williams, as mentioned are similar. I want to see the Mclaren on track vs a studio / render that was missing pieces. I suspect the Mclaren looks more slender when it shows up at Barcelona / Bahrain.AeroDynamic wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 4:55 pmHow can Williams do that, while Aston Martin's body was not exactly petite? And the McLaren.. pretty Obese.
Aston stuffed everything in the sidepods, so it’s almost a complete departure.
Williams might have taken advantage of their CFD / Wind tunnel time and Dorian Capital $$$. We will see.

Mercedes (style?) gearbox with the pull-rods attaching at the mid-line so that they are out of the way of the floor.

Why the brake duct cover continues inboard well after the cooling openings finish seems odd.
