Red Bull RB8 Renault

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.

Yes. Batteries seem even closer to the exhausts*. CPU under the right rad
But it's just the angle...

No opening in the front bulkhead for the nose letterbox to exhaust through.

This is the same chassis design as last year.

Then what are we seeing here? Sure looks like a slot underneath the queen just about the right size and location to join up to the letterbox.

You can just about see it, it's not any bigger from the outside though so nothing too exciting.

Are you proposing something below the blue line? That could be a slot covered by maybe a screen. There seems to be a fastener on each end of the screen.

I view the blue line as a reflection of the upper painted surface.

Yeah the slot is the little mesh slit below the blue line.

Every time I see that front bulkhead I laugh at how much it takes the rules to the limit...
