The red bull is fairly similar imo

The only differences are the ones forced by regulations, and the complexities of the wings =0

Tighter packaging but that's to be expected anyway

Love how the HRT wing is basically a brawn one though haha.

probably the car was already nearer to the edge than any other.
without the DDD confusion in the first year RB would have dominated from the beginning.

in 2009 they had the adjustable front wing so its the front wings are different if you look at 2010 and 2012 its quite similar
