Can confirm. Is a wing!

Could be front one!

Definitely going to need more data points to be sure though

Really winging it here, eh?

[–] upsurge 1 points 1 year ago

Big, if true.

Looks like a very different approach. Here's hoping it's worth a tenth or two.

[–] The_one_and_only 4 points 1 year ago

Well, after 2 FP-sessions, it looks like a tenth or two slower...

From what I can see, it's either going to be a significant gain, or a disaster class, and basically nothing in between. I'd love to see what an aero engineer with automotive experience thinks, though.

Seems like the diffusers are a bit steep towards the centre of the car. Aero engineer here (though my expertise is more in astronautics); will be interesting to see how this performs. Maybe it's just my perspective though.

Not just the front wing, looks like the nose is straighter and maybe a bit lower overall.
