A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

they were off pace by several seconds sometimes in the damp and had quite poor tire life in the first part of the season.
From Hungary onwards i would say overall it was the quickest machine with the Red Bull right behind.

There is one feature I would like to see: sidepod intake opening not only to the front, but also to the top like in a semi naca duct

No this is an RB9 (with slotted nosestep though); it sports the same new cooling inlet under the airbox intake
