What they're not showing they're not testing. If it's not in the car, that is. You'd expect something around the diffuser area which is more visible than not.amouzouris wrote:RBR have something up their sleeve
in the last stints at barcelona they were testing diffuser efficiency on the high speed corner in sector two, maybe just different wings set up for high speed cornering... I think everyone has something up their sleeveamouzouris wrote:RBR have something up their sleeve

yeah, that's what my initial post was about. My statement about the exposed floor was more with regard to people saying: "Wow, look how tight it is and how much floor can be seen"shelly wrote:@mandrake: it is not only about floor exposed, it is about the shape of the sidepod from the floor up
Invariably, when teams have something to sing and dance about, they absolutely don't sing and dance about it. For this reason, I don't buy this at all. Seems to me, like Horner is trying to get other teams to waste time in looking for something that isn't there.amouzouris wrote:RBR have something up their sleeve

The thing with testing is, the car is only ever going to get better, so even if they don't have anything to speak of, they will still get performance gains (or time reductions) in the next test, in which case nobody will be any the wiser.amouzouris wrote:fair point..but if it really turns out thet RB has nothing more wouldnt that be bad publicity?? i dont think they want that..
Yes, those are my thoughts too.bhallg2k wrote:And I think you would be correct.shelly wrote:I think it is related to exiting some cooling air form the back instead of channelling it in the top exit.
I thought the conventional line was that 'inlet(s) on the top of the airbox' were for KERS cooling.bhallg2k wrote: The inlet on the top of the airbox is a strong indicator of this. And that means that the circulation of cooling air inside the Mercedes is not behaving like what would be found in the Red Bull.
