The hinge design is also obviously designed to shed a vortex with that nice big triangle of metal sticking up in to the airflow at a slight angle to the stream.

Aston Martin Racing has become the first team to show off a real 2022 Formula One car after Haas limited themselves to a rendering and Red Bull painted a show car to keep their secrets hidden.

I guess yeah that would make more sense, but why put it inside the floor exactly where the underbody surface needs to be the cleanest?F1NAC wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 5:50 pmIsn't that usually position where they place IR cameras for monitoring the rears ?Mat-tes wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 5:32 pmhttps://ibb.co/GW68Vg8
That is quite a sharp turn below the undercut, I wonder how much air they can turn with that sort of shape.
It's a bit hard to see on the limited set of pictures we have so far, but doesn't it look like a sort of opening where the diffusor steps up? Theres an odd joint/assembly there and I can't tell if there's a kind of Naka duct there or else, I guess not but it looks odd.
Looking the gap between the sidepod and the floor reminds me to this...AeroDynamic wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 3:51 pmAlt view of the rear + Brightened (Good res)

Not at that angle. Holes, or small tunnels directly behind it going under the centre of the car.JordanMugen wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 5:08 pmWhere did you find a photo of holes in the tea tray? There does seem to be a winglet on the splitter.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 4:48 pmThe tea tray is the most interest part to me. It has some holes going under the floor. Like a central vortex to prevent on side of the under-floor from influencing the other side?

I don't recall it being banned?siskue2005 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 6:25 pmBut in 2009 they said those caused turbulance and they banned it, but noe its back.
Does it really effect the car following?
A few things, for one, they can clean up the rear tire wake above the tire. Additionally, they allow you to run a tighter coke bottle and smaller cooling exit at the rear.
My mistake, for some reason I thought siskue2005 was talking about the undercut (Toro Rosso style) being banned.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 6:34 pmGills were banned along with Chimneys.. but it was more for the chimneys why closed holes were banned in the side pods 50mm above the reference plane.
