I think Haas concept looks far better. To have so many gills for cooling is not good for aero. Basic concept of Adrian Newey is to have tight rear and sloping engine cover. Aston Martin concept of huge undercat is far less stabile aero concept.
I don’t think it’s fair to Adrian and the rest of the RB staff to lock in their design by what has been done before.
The gills releasing hot air along the top of the sidepods may be a much better solution than dumping it into the expansion of air at the top of the tunnel.
Also, I wouldn’t look at old designs. Technology / understanding was very rudimentary the last time they had ground effects than today.
