Alpha tauri is launching on Monday, do you guys think it will be another model car just covered up or will they be launching the real deal?
I think it was stupid for redbull not to launch their real car after Haas launched a partial decoy, because all the attention could have been on them especially since they won the drivers championship last year. Instead they launched a model with the same livery scheme and all the attention went to Aston martin who launched a real car the day after and then followed it up with a shake down test the following day.

They should launch it but cover up some details. Look at what Mercedes does, in 2020 they launched the w11 but didn't film the new rear suspension. In 2021 they launched but didn't show the floor. Yet this approach didn't cost them anything. Just hide the sensitive areas, but they opted to not show anything. It could be due to the fact they failed crash testing and still haven't fixed it.

Speaking of regulations, I've been trying to educate myself regarding engine sizes over the decades.
From brutish V12 to tiny but sophisticated 1.6 liters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One_engines |

Well not from what I read which said mercedes passed in jan. But again it is all speculation. I would say merc launches a real car because their track record has been to do such a thing, but just hide key areas. The only team truly launching a fake car is RB lol. So projection again?

Or be like Aston martin and release the whole thing. Sure some small things might be changed by race day as they learned their design but it will be an improvement on what is already seen so they aren't decieving anyone. At this stage I doubt much can be copied from simple videos anyways. The chassis is homologated now, suspension is too. The only thing that can be copied easily is the wings and what little of the floor they can see. And even then without being able to copy the side pods etc it will not be effective to just copy those few parts that are permitted to be modified during the season because they will not work the same way in a different car's flow field without the other parts that are locked in also upgraded.

Remember the sham removal of Max's car when it stopped on the track in practice at San Marino,instead of being brought back to the pits via the track it was displayed through the town on a low loader with everyone including Merc viewing and taking pictures of the car underneath before it was returned back tp RB. |

The mid-field teams need to launch now to get any publicity. The heavy hitters get it all once the season starts. |

If you developed innovations who took years of research and hard work , and cost hundreds of millions ... You would just give it away ? HAM's 2021 Rocket Warp-Speed Grenade is still in 2022 top-secret ! Probably you think that Mercedes will show the real deal ?
