Even on this livery pic he has the weird hybrid aero setup with new front, old roof vent and old rear wing.

Front is Estonia 2020. Roof vent like this was last used by main team in 2019, same for rear wing.

I think he said earlier that Michelin helped in funding last year’s program, but they cannot do it anymore

No help from Pirelli Norway then...???

Loubet livery

Jeez! Loubet's sponsors are so small that I can't see their names even when I zoom in on the picture!
What kind of marketing is it?

yep, just saying front is not the newest on works car either!!!
i remember an interview in which he said is happy 'cause is getting some developments, still not the same as works car.

I perfectly understand he doesn't have latest gear. But what I find strange is that they combine front that came much later and keep rear that was changed before that. Ending in a hybrid that the works team never drove together. Wouldn't that mean some setup development and findings from works team are less usefull and he has to find new optimal settings himself?

long shot. to me is they get the new parts they can. probably works won't give the latest to customer (rear/scoop) while the mid front is ok cause is surpassed by the one they're testing. for sure one dev is better than 0 even if the works didn't used

That just a render I think, not the real deal, so no need to discuss the aero on the car!
