no, no, I meant sidepod-wise (only)... "Traditional" sidepods like 2 y ago, sorry for the confusion. Take a page off Aston and copy from the best... I do realize this has implications all over the aero and it's not simple, but stopping now takes guts... That's what Toto is paid the big bucks for ;-) Make a call, continue and cross your fingers or cut the gangrene now... I tend to agree (I'm sure he cares) as they had one year to fix it, then a winter to pursue it, and it's still crap... Part of me is happy that the "ugly flat fish" sidepod is a bad solution, as the (other) cars finally look great again. We've gone thru years of stinkers with the narrow track, tall rear wing, broken nose, shlong nose, remember all that ? The ferrari and Aston look amazing now..
