Im sure the teams go to extraordinary lengths in forming and layering carbon to get the desired result in terms of stiffness and flex where its wanted / not wanted and also weight wise. To me, this is probably one of the bigger issues in copying a car next to the bits you cant see like ducting in the floor. You can copy a design as much as you like, but unless you can get it to flex the way you want and dont want its kind of pointless.
Id guess there are general rules in place for how this is done, but id be interested to see what the layered breakdown is of the TP vs the 2019 merc and how much similarity there is. Its something you cant get from detailed pictures.
