This looks like a much more streamlined design. It must be way better, aerodynamically speaking. Why didn't anyone else think of putting the front wheels in the middle of the car like that, instead of having them stick way out to the sides like normal?
Now that is pod racing.
Here you go
It looks horrifying but I think that's deliberate, like with crumple zones on road cars; the outer bits absorb the impact and the central bit protects the driver
Exactly. The bathtub part where the driver is looks like it’s still perfectly in tact, from the floor to the halo.
As someone with little knowledge of Formula 1 I have a question. Seeing how fucked this car is and knowing how ridiculously expensive each car is, who is going to pay for its replacement? Will Ocon’s team have to pay to replace the car or will Red Bull foot the entire bill themselves?
Ocon wasn't involved in this crash, he collided with his teammate in another part of the track. Magnussen touched the wall and consequently hit Perez' car.
As others have stated, the teams have to pay for their own damage. This is a bit controversial to some, but these are the current rules. It wouldn't be a big deal for the bigger teams money-wise, the main problem is that this counts towards the budget cap.
One step closer to Pod Racing!
Where we're going, we won't need roads 🕶️
It'll buff right out, no problem.
I've taxed worse
