Red Bull RB22

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.

The vertical mirror attachment now sits on the outer edge of the mirror instead of the inside.

Seems like the upper SIS is sitting flush with the lateral outer edge of the sidepod , a.k.a sidepod width seems increased.
So probably more undercut as a result
I don't know how that would work, if the waterslide is retained.
Let's wait for more pics.
A moderate undercut + moderate waterslide

Or a deeper waterslide + same undercut

1st update of the floorboard for RB22, also updates to the rear corner. Edit: better comparisons

Wow, that rear corner is insane. Works seamlessly with the slidepod.

New sidepod also bulges out very close to the floor edge.

Yeah they are really experimenting a lot in this area. 4th sidepod iteration, though this is an evolution of the slidepod.

I feel like the wider sidepod and the work on the front corner is driving towards more outwash/upwash. And the rear corner looks to be fed mainly from the slides. I love that they are going with their own concept instead of just following the herd.

New metal tips on floor daggers (like Merc). It also looks like the vertical "bypass slot" that was hugging the chassis is now gone. I suspect the floor entry is completely redesigned, we'll see when we have a better picture.

New downwash shape for the rear wishbone attachment.
