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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Big, if true.

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

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

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.
