“Sometimes they are a bit bigger, sometimes a bit smaller, but it is important to keep the development alive. We have three main points we are working on. One is aero, the most important one,” Krack added.
“Second is car weight, very important as well. And the third is how we can provide better feedback from the car to our drivers that goes into the suspension, into the steering, these kinds of things, the set-up of the car,” Krack concluded.

Come this weekend, the group turned up in Barcelona with a vehicle that includes an entirely new sidepod configuration combined with a new floor. These changes have been made to tackle the vehicle’s concerns with porpoising.
The Silverstone group under the name of BWT Racing Point ran their 2020 car with broad allegations that it was a ‘Pink Mercedes’, considering its striking likeness to the 2019 Mercedes W10. It also saw the team get their points deducted, such was the design of both the cars.
