Yeah there was one from this weekend. I was hoping for some more clues to the duct exit.rscsr wrote:In a recent article from scarbs you can find a nice picture of the floor mounted capacitors and that the air is directed to the center of the car.Owen.C93 wrote:Does anyone have a link to a picture of the bare floor from Yesterday, I haven't been able to find it again.

It all happens at the rear edge of the cave, where both airflows meet. I doubt cooling function of the cave, as there is no increase in volume to slow down the airflow.

"I'm down looking at the Red Bulls. On Friday, Sebastian Vettel ran with a duct in the coke-bottle area between the rear wheels open and his team-mate Mark Webber had it closed off. Now Vettel has the same specification as Webber."
Yeah you could see from the coverage they closed the duct. So obvious testing yesterday for future updates. Will be interesting to see how this RB duct evolves.Nando wrote:BBC F1 technical analyst Gary Anderson
