Red Bull RB10 Renault

[charlex]

no doubt he will be working on the cooling of RB.

Shows RB are right on the limit. I don't think this is such a bad thing (would be nice if the other renault teams could put a bit of mileage on the engine though).

Better to start over the edge and adjust it back to the limit then to start too conservative imo.

Unfortunately, the Caterham is beyond the limit at the moment to Red Bull have some serious paring back to do on that basis.

If they are on the limit now as in having to hack the bodywork to cool the thing down, what they will do in Malaysia or Bahrain?

exhaust pointing away from the centre line?

It's just the perspective.

Newey must be hurt to the core when he sees this.

uh oh, they're blowing the diffuser again.

What exactly is overheating at that specific point?

Love it! This is real racing, forcing people to think on short notice to make things work! How do we force this in the rules - regulation changes on Fridays before races?

Back on topic, how tight must that are be packed that they couldn't just make the cut further back and direct the hot air more in line with the sidepods? It must be a masterpiece (if it had worked) / nightmare (since it doesn't) under there.

Edit - spelling (as always!)

Im not worried about redbull i wouldn't doubt it if by Australia they have the cooling solved proper software and car faster the Ferrari and McLaren.

It is sad tho that they aren't having a fair chance at getting used to the new style of driving... Thats the only draw back i see. I know the car wjll be good and running strong.

They have had a fair chance to get it right, renault have had the same time as the rest to get their act together. Red Bull also has the biggest budget on the paddock, if anything they had more than their fair chance.

The car also seems to be packaged in such as way that it is exasperating an existing problem. I don't feel sorry for them, collectively they missed the bulls eye for the first test. They will thread the needle eventually.

it is NOT a Renault problem, but a specific rbr problem due to the tight packaging. the car was not tested before with all elements in place. that is the object of this test. find the problems and then eliminate them. rbr are not the first to have packaging problems. remember merc and Ferrari last year? relatively easy to overcome, but newey has to work out the best way to do it without compromising other parts of his design
