Red Bull RB10 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.

Is Red Bull trying to make a small wing out of their hot air escapes? Generating some downforce with that little cut.
Yes, it's been on a while now, only seen it on the high cooling package though. It's not a new thing in terms of design, easily done to make R75 legal. It's used to help power the rear wing aswell as aiding increase cooling.

Contrast this with - say - the Force India wing which has dramatic vertical elements from well inside the line of the tyre to turn the air outwards. The sinuous curves on the Red Bull wing are intriguing, I would love to know just how much they move the air around.
The Sinus shape could be exactly part of that wake control. It has less deflection angle on the oustide where the leading edge is elevated. The higher deflection angle of the FW in front of the center part of the front wheel will lead to increased static pressure there compared to the outsides. This will make the air move to the areas of lower static pressure, read the outside.
Doing that by twisting the wing Profile instead of using huge endplates will create a defined vortex which could potentially be used down stream. If they really managed to get that working properly is a different matter though but I suspect that the rational behind that design was somewhere along those lines.
This solutioln should also be slightly more efficient since you use only vertical (read Downforce producing) components to achieve this. Vertical endplates will only create drag but no direct DF at all.

Most if not all has a nice curvy shape to it like the leading edge of the front wing, absolutely beautiful shapes.
It´s full of stars, I mean, ellipses
why do you fight it? 8) there u go.. haha

Hot air exit in the 2nd pic looks lower and tighter?

The second pic is a modified RB9 with RB10 nose and an electro engine. They used it for pit stop tests and promo.

Vettel is going to swap back a PU as he used in Hungary to prevent him from penalized. However ,will he need to stuck with a PU for the rest or the season? what happen to the damaged PU , are they tring to fix it for the next few races?

He'll inevitably get a penalty at some point.

James Allan speaks of an new efficient electric system on the RB10.
The rejuvenated form of Red Bull, particularly its now extremely efficient energy recovery system
Any other sources on the ongoing development of the Renault engine?

Yeah I wondering the same, it worked great on the straights!

James was calling it "defense mode".

In spa RB10 was capable of something like 330 kph on it's own steam while in "defense" mode and 340+ easily while DRSed. Doubtful low wings alone would be capable of doing this. Something had to change on this car during the summer break. I'm guessing most likely MGU-H related.

We can see Vettel making short work of Button into the last chicane despite coming at him from a long way back.
