Looks like they've partitioned the diffuser into left and right channels?

Also, the bottom diffuser doesn't seem very integrated with the two big upper channels. I suspect we're only looking at half the diffuser, they'll have an integrated version at next week's test, or at Bahrain.

All the guys going on about packing, what engine are they running? That's right the Renault. The wheel base on this car was already long, so the packing isn't that amazing - and I think the paint job is tricking you quite alot.

you may be right, but i'd still be interested to see the wheelbase stats for all the cars... hopefully during the season that will become easily available. and a comparison of this car and the renault factory car would also intrest me.

honestly, looking at it now and looking at pictures of the torro rosso, it isnt all that amazing. they actually do share many elements:

the vent at the rear in the centre of the car,
the noses are very similar, although the RB6 seems to be more elongated.

the diffuser and rear end differs quite a bit tho. but that was to be expected, torro rosso diffuser is really stock stuff.

As Renault and Williams...

I posted on a nother discussion around ths car that i was not expecting a massive change. The RB5 was a brilliant package to begin with and Newey has remained true to his philosophy of evolution under rules stability.
He did this at Williams in the mid 90's then at McLaren.

I am expecting an interesting diffusor so lets see what the photographers come up with over the next few days.

is that floor split or is it my eyes playing tricks. look at the floor, just below the 'e' in red bull.

That's not new.

I think it's just some sort of fin curving upward

Just as it was in the recent past (with the exception of 2009),
I expect them to get really punked this season.

Interesting angle.


Anyone reckon they will be using movable front wings this year? They've had enough time to develop them now. Surely every little bit counts.

Webber: "It was just an oil leak. Not sure if it was engine or hydraulic. Nothing major."
