Different sidepod intake than what the rest are doing. Also the top of those sidepods looks really flat compared to other cars.
Anyway looks don't matter in the end, performance does. I'm glad they and Ferrari are doing their own thing in certain aspects rather than just copying RB.

I doubt these would be the sidepods on the cars they will be running in a few days.

I agree. The sidepod inlet is very unique looking with the fillet feature on the bottom, similar to what I remember on the zero-pod car. The subtle water slide on the top of the sidepod kinda looks like last year's Alpine.

The lack of stays on the floor is another obvious change for them from last year. And I don't remember the big scoop on the tip of the front wing either.
