    Air sticks to the shape of the under-body diffuser as long as any change in angle is less than 7º.

    With a change in angle greater than 7º air stop flowing and start a transition into turbulence. How fast the turbulence builds is a function of how extreme the break is and how fast the air is flowing.

    By carefully controlling the angles (and volume), one can make the diffuser stop generating more downforce above certain speeds--such as those where porposing occurs.

    Thus, shapes and curvatures in the underbody diffuser do essentially no harm at lower speeds, and decrease drag at higher speeds, and eliminate porpoising.

    it's hard to see but my initial impression in the video is that it looks like a slightly more trimmed version of the RB18, the bodywork seems more shink wrapped, the nose thinner.

    liveries launched so far.

    Expect Merc and Ferrari to follow suit with the ''carbon with a hint of colour'' thrown in. Really quite incredible that the regulation clowns made the rules in such a way that allowed hideously overweight cars that are now basically not painting their cars in an effort to reach the minimum weight.

    I was thinking the same thing—incredible irony that the rules created these monsters, that there seems to be no desire from either the series promoters, sanctioning body or teams themselves to reduce the bulk of these behemoths, and with cars already at 800 kg everyone is worried about a couple of f’in kgs of paint. Ugly, crappy matte paint at that. Totally mind boggling!

    Pretty soon, every car will look like this-except not as good looking and not recognizable one from the other because they all look alike…

    So, all 3 “real” cars so far revealed have sidepod inlets like the ‘22 Ferrari, and 2 of 3 have the ridged sidepod top. Maybe Ferrari know what they’re doing after all. ;)

    Next up (tomorrow) AM and McL—predictions: one will be green (hopefully glossy) and the other… a hideous mix of carbon, orange, and all the colors of a rainbow. :p

    They seems pretty confident..
    Leclerc’s smile yesterday was very telling.
    One can only hope..

    If ballast is needed, add paint on the appropriate area.

    Looking at these 2023 cars, it's no surprise there are so many contacts, leaving plenty of carbon shards on the track.

    The most exposed part of the car, the front wing, sticks out probably out of sight on the driver lying down in the cockpit.

    The vertical cooling vents on both McLaren and Williams perhaps suggests how the Mercedes PU was designed and we can probably expect the same on the Mercedes car.
