Red Bull RB11 Renault

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.

Lovely looking nose, much higher rear heat outlets. Wishbone goes through instead of over.

The nose is close to the F14T !!! It doesn't slope like all other cars as it bulges down and then comes down all the way.

Surprised Ferrari didn't opt for something like that... Looks similar in concept to their nose last year. Completely new approach by Red Bull.

They have copied Ferrari brake ducts, now they are blowing the wheel hub.

They should keep that Livery. Looks amazing imo.

Really seems like an Ecolution of the RB10. Maybe they found a Way to make the blown Axle really Work. Williams tested it, Ferrari tested it (and does again) but no Team kept it by now.

This angle is the least flattering in showing the (in my opinion) unappealing appearance this style of chassis to nose transition (ie the chassis staying as high as is allowed for as long as possible, then moving down sharply as required under the regulation). Not as bad as last year's Ferrari IMO, similar to Mercedes.

http://forums.autosport.com/topic/19683 ... ger/page-3 is a much nicer angle imo, hopefully the race-spec livery will mask the transition a bit better, but if it's fast, it will start to look pretty good regardless :D

The packaging of the sidepods looks amazing (although an aerial shot would be nice to get an idea of just how compact the sidepods and rear really are). They *seem* to be extremely narrow (although it's hard to be 100% sure of depth with that livery, even on the high-res photos), especially at the front (the undercut, under the radiator inlets, literally goes all the way to the tub and appears as if it can't go any further).

Am I right in thinking the sidepods have much less of an undercut at floor level than previously?
The dazzle paint scheme is certainly very effective at disguising what is in plain view.

I see more undercut and a more progressive curve (sidepod foot on the floor)
The shape of these sidepods suggests RBR kept the 2014 intercooler layout? (intercoolers at the very rear, almost paralel to air direction)

Frontwing. Look at the middle part under the nosetip.

I'm sure they are trying to hide something with that camouflage livery, but what?
