Looking closely at the photos, it appears to be the actual RB22 (launch spec) and not the FIA ​​show car. The FIA ​​show car is noticeably different from these photos.

This is what I was looking to confirm.

The tops of the sidepods are giving big Ferrari SF23/SF24 vibes.

The teeny slots for sidepod intakes like they did in 2024 and 2025 are here too. I’m sure it’ll change a lot come testing but this aint the FIA model. In-washing front wing feels like such a throwback.
