 Hey hey, part two of the F1 2024 car lounge. We've had Aston Martin, McLaren, Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari unveiling their 24 challenger, which we have some very interesting choices. So let's go. Okay, let's start with the Aston Martin. I think Aston Martin last year took 2022 Red Bull and used a lot of the philosophy that was made on the Red Bull in 2022. And I feel like the 2024 Aston Martin is an upgrade in 2023 Red Bull. I mean, I don't blame them. That was the fastest car last year. You can see the side paws on the side. You can see the front wing from the front three quarter. You can see the small, tiny air entry for on the side paws, the rear wing. They pushed the philosophy of what they did last year to the next level. As I say, they very, very much used what was the fastest car on the paddock and upgraded it. So on the paper, it should work well. But yes, it is an upgraded version of what they had last year, which also is an inspiration from Red Bull. So why not doing it when Red Bull has been dominating so far? One thing that we noticed this year on the trend is the rear bodywork shape. It's not the nicest in the world, but seems that pretty much every team has been running that shape at back. Livery wise, I should have started with this. Love it. Beautiful green, beautiful design. I think it's one of the nicest car out there. My client's clearly been the team that impressed me the most last year through the development and they come back. I think this car is an upgraded version of the upgraded version they had last year. They found a place that worked really well for them, especially on a high downforce. I think low downforce, they were still a little bit down, but absolutely impressive 2023 season. So 2024, as I say, they kind of upgraded their car. You can see the front wing pretty loaded all the way to the outside and then creating that wash that we've seen with most of the team. Side pods a little bit different than other teams. Trying to bring as much air as they can and through the front suspension, then you can see clearly they really try to put a lot of infestation and trying to get air through the front suspension to the front of the side pod and the diffuser. The side pods, the rear of the side pods as every other team very shaped very aggressively towards the diffuser. We've got that rear bodywork shape that we've seen on most of the car. The new trend as well on the rear end plate where they cut ahead of the flap, the DRS flap that seems to be working pretty well on most of the car. And yeah, from the front, the three quarter front, we see that little extension in front of the nose. So the nose is not coming towards the last plate of the front wing. They try to have that little scoop there. It's even more obvious than another team later on. But yes, I feel like it's a very good upgraded version of what they are last year and clearly they found something that worked really well for them in 2023. So I'm hoping they can go and chase Red Bull and everyone else and give us an exciting season. That is my favorite Mercedes F1 team. I think it's the most good looking car. I'm glad to see the Silver Arrow back on the track. I think there's a lot. It is the car that... Who is the Red Bull? I'm the most intrigued to see on track. I think there's some very bold move. There's some very bold decision made on the car. Let's get into it. Look at that front wing and that big scoop. It does remind me a lot of the 2006 F1 car that I used to be in love with. 2005, 2006 is my favorite time in Formula One history. And then look at those sideboards. Yes, they went for very small air entry to get as much flow as they can under the sideboards. But they went for a different shape than everyone else. Different shape until I saw the last one that was released revealed I should say. But very excited about that front wing. Very excited about that sideboard entry. The front wing design was a lot of very different plate size, flap size. So look at the nose a big down and they go tiny towards the outside. It's even more pronounced from the front of the car. That front wing is very intense, very loaded. So they must be very confident in their rear downforce. Because there's one thing that is very easy to do in Formula One is create a lot of front downforce. You just put a big front wing and you're going to have all the downforce of the world you want. But everything that every flow or air that hits the Formula One car hits the front wing first. So if the air doesn't go exactly where you're planning on getting it after hit the front wing, you are not going to go anywhere. And that is a key element in every Formula One car. Sideboards a little bit different than everyone else. Longer, a little bit less steep, maybe a bit narrower. The rear bodywork as everyone else, we've got that, I don't know, Mickey Mouse here shape under the 6th tree of George Russell. Open rear end plate on the rear wing as we discussed. But yes, I must admit they are very intense choices on that car. And I'm excited to see what it does. I'm really hoping to see Mercedes back fighting at the front with Ferrari, with Brad Bull, with Aston Martin, with McLaren, with anyone basically. I don't want to be fighting. But I think in terms of everything we've seen, everyone seems to be quite conventional to the point that so the Mercedes that is very different and very unique. Ciao alla bella Ferrari. Yes, Ferrari, red, iconic, beautiful car. I like some of the, I mean, I like the design. I like that that line makes it a bit modern. I like the big Ferrari sticker on the rear wings that reminds me of the old good Ferraris and design wise with some very interesting choices. The front wing they kept main plate separated from the nose. We've seen that on the Aston Martin. We've seen that on the Mercedes. We've seen that on the Ferrari last year. Side pod entrance very much inspired by Red Bull. The very tiny side post entrances back as far back as they can push it. And then massive slides at the back of the side post like a big effort where the black carbon is to direct the exactly where they want it to be directed to. And look at the side of the halo. I think that's pretty cool. That's something we haven't seen before. On the side of the halo they've used the base to kind of create a tunnel to redirect the air exactly where they want to. That's something very interesting on the car that I saw straight away. If we compare the front from 2023 to 2024, front wing, similar, maybe a little bit less turning veins on it, quite loaded all the way. And finally at the end, washing out. The front suspension, I think the upper, which one have been pushed up trying to bring as much air as they can towards the diffuser and underneath the side pods. The side pod entrance, we mentioned them. Pretty interesting. You can change there. You can see the halo here on the three quarter comparison. I think really you can see the difference there. They had some big side pods last year, quite impressive side pods, really, really massive. I know they've definitely went for the Red Bull type philosophy, trying to bring as much air as they can down towards the diffuser. So first of all, I think it's a very good looking car. Second of all, I think they've made some good choices. It's a little bit more conventional that the Mercedes, for example, but it could work very, very well. Red Bull from what I want to team. The car that team that dominated the last two years, I didn't really know what to expect. And a whole surprise that would be seeing that new car if they were just going to carry on. The car from last year was a bit of an updated, or if they were going to go for some interesting moves and they did, they absolutely did. Front wing looks like a beautiful moustache, if I'm being honest, very, very loaded to the center, not so much on the inside and the outside. It's kind of a different shape from the others. And look at the side pod entrance. I mean, I was very interested in the Mercedes side pod entrance and the Red Bulls are not so dissimilar. Very tiny, very much on the inside. Very different from what we've seen last year. Look at how clearly you can see the front of the diffuser, where they're going to bring a lot of air for the ground effect. Look how wide the suspension, the front suspension are trying to get as much or nothing in the way to the front of the floor. The nose goes to the main plate. That's also a difference from last year. From the side, the rear bodywork, the Mickey Mouse, here's pretty significant on that car. Very tiny side pods, the best way to compare 23 and 24. So the side pods a little bit less extreme at the back, the way they're going down, but the difference is really at the front of the side pods. The difference is the front wing, with the nose going all the way down. That's on a three-quarter view. On the front view, the moustache front wing was here last year already. Side pod entrance mentioned, the rear wing, not so much difference, but also the pull road from suspension different from everyone else that's on the push road. Quite some interesting choices made by Red Bull. I'm very excited to see what that car is going to be doing on track because obviously the last three years they were unbeatable and it seems that they just didn't go a step in a conservative direction, but they went for a very aggressive car and very interesting choices. So first race of the season is coming up soon and we should have our first answers, but definitely some very exciting livery this week. The big boys and no, it's time that we get to see them on track. Hope you enjoy. I try to give you as much as I could from the inside of those pictures.
