If you watch closely you'll notice that the upper deck is not secured to the middle block but it is floating. There are two tie rods on each side of the fuel tank keeping the chassis rigid to its front/back movement but flexible to its left/right movement. Very smart... Serpent also followed this design for this race and it might be available as an option in the future.

Many more photos here, including Alberto Picco's Mugen and Mike Swauger's Mugen

How is the traction at the worlds track and also tyre wear?
