Not as painful as it sounds...
I noticed the new Sauber has what looks like a couple of Force India-esq nostrils either side of the nose tip, and RBR have again gone with the large intake on the end of the nose.
From my recollection, radical design ides like this tend to either work and be copied across all teams, or don't and are dropped. But this is now the second season with the RBR intake, and what, 3rd for the SFI nostrils? Yet neither concepts have been copied by Merc (tbc), Ferrari (tbc) or any of the other teams we've seen so far.
Can we come up with any suggestions, or actual insight into why?
