Mcl have split the lower wishbone in two, to create a unique multilink setup.
Its an aero solution, not possible with a wishbone. Along with the clever steering trackrod & angled top wishbone. The MCL39 downwashes more flow to the floor, for more downforce.

No reason. I like the look, I often go on to add full colour to the drawings.

Again a high/wide inlet creates a huge undercut, thats also double curved at the rear, to manage flow over the floor edge details. The vertical inlet cleans up the boundary layer formed along the chassis side, making the undercut flow more effective.
Rear outboard suspension is similar to RB20

The cockpit cooling inlets are similarly placed to 2024, but now feed the turbo intercoolers right at the back of the sidepod.
Making use of a localised pressure point, some contorted ducting and relocated intercoolers for a clever overall solution.

Red Bull #RB21 details.
Although little has changed externally, the car is different in a few areas.
Both long and short nose tips were tested, these affect the undernose airflow to the floor. The general suspension & rearward cockpit layout is similar to 2024.

The sidepod shape is a big departure. With high/wide inlet, creating a huge undercut to load the floor edge for more downforce.
Tyre wake us managed by the flat flank to the didepod. Which is kept slim at tgecrear bumy the large cooling slot.
Rear outboard suspension is subtly revised

Did you know Suzuki tested natural composite bodywork in #MotoGP? Since they departed MotoGP in 2022, they've raced flax (grass) composite bodywork in the Suzuka 8 hour
As well as being more sustainable, @BcompLtd flax composite creates fewer sharp shards when damaged

The #W16 so much 2024 spec on show, I've only pointed out the apparent differences.
With the revised nose tip, I'd expect a very different front wing to 2024. All aimed at managing the rotation of the flow to the underbody.
Sidepod flank will keep front tyre awake from the car.
