They're starting to look like a cruise ships :nonod:... Royal Caribbean or Princess should start sponsoring F1.
I really want to like F1.......I have watched it for a long long time but I hardly watched last season. The cars are grotesque and the power plants are not reverent, and all they care about is MONEY. Looks like I wont make a big point of watching it agin this year.
Most were guessing it's an exhaust for heat...Craig Scarborough called it a cooling chimney. They then took that off and ran a different configuration with these vents. Lots of testing going on.
It's got to be their entrance for their S duct. They have the vent on the top of the nose and no other large opening for the air to go in.
So Honda is saying their problems are down to the shape of their oil tank? How does a company with the engineering history and resources of Honda screw something that basic up?

Not identical but an amazing level of similarity given the designs have been under wraps until just a few days ago.
