“Down-wash” geometry, with the upper surface of the sidepod sloping downwards towards the back of the car.

Most teams encourage a level of "down-wash" for the main body of the sidepods, which is generated by the upper surface sloping downwards towards the back of the car, whilst also generating "in-wash" through a narrowing of the bodywork towards the back of the car. Our sidepods are heavily down- wash biased - possibly the most extreme on the grid, whilst other have found a different compromise or reverted to a heavy in-wash bias.

Separate SLM actuators for each side of the front wing flap.

Our approach is focused on matching the desired flow conditions aft of the front wing for the front suspension and bodywork immediately behind it. The separate SLM actuators for each side of the front wing flap are part of that intent.

Unique geometry, shaped to work closely with the floor and rear bodywork.

Our solution to the cooling inlets and front of sidepod geometry is unique, it is a philosophy which links with how our floor and bodywork aft of the sidepod front work as an aerodynamic system from front to back.
