Start at 6:08 for that part specifically. It’s related to there not being a Y-250 vortex anymore (which was used to manage front tire wake and essentially shoot it out the side of the car, which negatively affected following cars). Because this doesn’t exist anymore, the fins and vanes of the spec part help to manage that wake, but in a manner than doesn’t create really dirty air for the cars behind, which inhibits following and overtaking. I know you asked about how much they would affect performance, but yeah, it’s really hard to say right now. It likely will mostly affect single-lap performance more than race pace (which is typical). Another note: the cars should be able to follow better, but the slipstream will also be less powerful.

But wait, there’s more

Ok, third time’s the charm for Alpine. Here are renders of the “actual car”.
-
So that’s not the livery apparently. I guess this is. Which still isn’t great but better than all pink.

The real Haas.

Those are the anchors.

RIP Black Merc. The first time we saw it on TV: https://streamable.com/kkrfv3

Some on track shots: And the F1-75 at Fiorano
-
The render is incredibly different from the real car. Top images are render, bottom is the W13 on stage. Few more studio shots: At Silverstone this morning, Lewis getting in some trackside engineer work: I wish it was black, too, but at least the livery still looks pretty good.

Interestingly, they did not change suspension layout as had been heavily rumored.
-
And hello, Ferrari. The leak was genuine. Sidepods have a funny concave flow to them, but they’re very wide and have zero undercut, so I do wonder how they will feed the floor. Looks really cool, though.

Goodbye, Michael Masi. https://www.fia.com/news/fia-president-mohammed-ben-sulayem-opens-way-new-step-forward-formula-1-refereeing

Sidepods are toit like a toiger with them going centerline cooling (thicker airbox area and smaller sidepods).
-
Just get you one of these. https://reverb.com/item/42142761-fender-freddie-tavares-aloha-stratocaster-w-ohsc-1994-chrome?utm_source=rev-ios-app&utm_medium=ios-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=42142761

Yes, because qualifying and racing are two different things.
-
Since there are no barge boards now, the teams have pushed the side pods way further forward than before (check the AT comparison photo above, where the inlet is now basically where the front of the halo is mounted, vs at or behind the driver’s head before) which I think helps a lot with the car proportions.

Last year, the “official” pole-sitter was the winner of the sprint race. They are changing that so that the official record of winning pole is from going fastest during qualifying, which is how it should be. Example: Lewis won pole at Silverstone, but Max won the sprint race, so Max got the actual stat in the record books for “winning pole”. That will be opposite now. Essentially this just further enforces the fact that the race is simply a two part race during sprint weekends. Overall these are positive changes (from before), but I’d still prefer 1) No sprint races, but if not that then 2) Totally decouple the sprint and it’s results from the actual race entirely.

Confirmed pullrod front suspension but also……..rear pushrod??? Kind of a weird angle there. Pretty interesting.
-
Well they are now very low, so they can get floor damage!
