Renault R29

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.

I tried to interpret and reached the same conclusion. Note that the Renault skirt even sloped down slightly...

Did that "bodywork around front wings" rule appear at 2009 regulations or it was around for a while?

Hmmm...can't help but notice the large boxy front brake ducts.

Is this an adjustable wing?

It's an F1 car with covered wheels!

... But built for endurance instead of sprint.

It would be great if F1 would allow for this type of bodywork. Open-wheel is cool, but inefficient by nature.

Does any one know where to find a gallery of these Audi R15 pictures. My usual haunts only have the shot from last week but I see different ones on here.

Can´t see any changes to the nose. But if ya'll take a look at the other pictures here http://my.ing-renaultf1.com/en/blog/939 ... stone.html you'll find some changes to the side skirts.

First I thought it´s the first Chassis they used at Portimao - but then I found out, that the Skirts a partly black or unpainted (try to zoom in (Strg +++)) with your webbrowser).

We'll know more soon (Sunday).

You can't see? hmmm... the one on the right, closer to the camera looks "normal", I agree, but take a good look at the one mounted on the car... or it's really just me after a long time with no f1...

I think the angle the guy is holding the black one at is quite misleading. It's not actually mounted to the car, he's already removed it, check out the angle of the wing...

Just about to say the same diesel, looks like an optical illusion, the wing on the left is being held at a high angle compared to the one on the one on the right.
