Not all the details are visible, but to me the RB floor looks very different from the Ferrari floor and MERC floor (which look a bit more the same).

Those air channel guides at the front of the floor (which guide the air to the side and create the downforce behind that) look way less aggressive on the RB floor than on the Ferrari and Merc floor.
Spaced further apart and I think it has 1 lamel less.
So maybe less downforce and better suitable to guide turbulent air where the Ferrari and MERC lamels convert the air to more laminair flow?
Maybe less is more and the reason the RB car has the least porpoising?
The lamel air guides on the MERC look the largest and most aggressive.

Of course it's a combination of front wing, aero from the wishbones and the floor, and the sidepods on top; they all work together.
People on f1technical say it's also the insane detail on the RB floor that helps prevent air flow from stalling, i.e. the indents, curves etc. Instead of it being so flat like the Ferrari and Merc floor.

Yes that's very different. Also the basic lowered mid section (where the wooden board sits) is completely different; not the more or less oval shape the ferrari and merc have.

Very interesting to see those differences.

Yeah they were talking about that too. Not sure what to make of it since we don't have any flow data.


B Sport (worked for Audi motorsports, and then racing point/force India for a few years as an aerodynamacist) on YouTube should be making an analysis on it soon.

Honestly . I would have trouble keeping my concentration going !

In other words : She's a sexy natural beauty . I'll give her a well deserved '10 !

It's a well known and ages old male trait.. When faced with or engaged by incredible female beauty.. the male brain glitches and turns to jello..

If they only knew the power they have. Perhaps they do.

Some do for sure and fully exploit it.

I'm sure Kelly picked up on that. I wonder what he said to Max after seeing that interview

Over here we have some of that too, and we also love it, but we also have a lot of other troubling things I can not say for fear of being banned (again..).. Remember it took me over five years to get access back to the Off-Topic Forum because of posting in the thread "Paris Attacks" (Charlie Hebdo). Speaking of off-topic.. Have you heard of MGTOW and the reasons for it? Just Google those letters and see why the phenomena has now taken root in American culture. Beautiful women have true power. Charles LeClerc's girlfriend has elegance and beauty. Hard to find these days. Here's Margot Robbie lest we forget. Warning: Mind turning to jello... now..

No mods - stock 2021 rear wheel drive R8 with a cat-back exhaust

Only track brake pads (Hawk DTC60 front/rear). I use the same tires on the street .
