Losing PM as a sponsor is bad for the team, period. PM does many many other things besides tobacco.
Seems very plausible with a bad diet. It’s a slippery slope so this is great incentive to eat a salad every once in a while and maybe some exercise, LOL.
All eyes on now on SF along Rb. I wonder if the Alfa is a sign of things to come? Pushrod design, some could have missed a trick here!
Alfa don’t buy unlisted parts from Ferrari so the better reference for the F1-75 will be the Haas. If their render can be fully trusted, that would mean the now standard pushrods up front and pull-rods at the back. I expect Merc to be the same.
I am no expert, but I find difficult to see the logic behind that design. I smell dog. P. S. Looks good though. P.P.S. The guy behind the leak should look for a good lawyer.
Side pods are boxy with little undercut, like McLaren. But the top of the side pod is sunken, and with kick-up at the rear is effectively an airfoil shape. Pod inlet looks weird but the last time they did something I thought was weird—2017 or 2018?—they set the trend that everyone else followed so hopefully they know what they’re doing. All the cars so far that are doing like a down wash to the floor—old rules style—seems to me are generating lift instead of DF.
Agree, Just as a reminder, for this generation of F1 the most important thing is what’s going on under the floor. Clean and constant downforce will be crucial.
Yeah, but not undercutting the side pod adds nothing but drag and less air that gets to the difusser.
Looks very real though some elements are covered up. The sidepod inlets look to me to be upper and lower boomerang shaped strakes or guide vanes. The nose looks interesting with what looks like a horseshoe type hoop at the front. New cape design?
Very much real deal to me. The drivers were/are there today and saw the car ahead of presentation tomorrow. So, obviously a leak.
It's quite possible the car is real. Regarding the Cape design, I haven't seen anyone use it on the 2022 cars....yet.
It a shame it leaked. I expect the leaker will soon be swimming with the fishes. I don't have a problem with that.
This leak will be done accidentally on purpose ( the car looks to damn good in the picture for it not to be). The hype they get from a leaked image a day before the event makes it 2 day's worth of promotion and hype instead off 1 day.
