At least they confirm that the MGU-H will indeed be used to controll the boost pressure. And a wastegate is present for security reasons. So that discussion can be laid to rest.

Not long now...intake?

Points down towards the sidepod where the intercooler will be.

And interesting exhaust solution. Single inlet turbo is surprising to me. And the MGU-H is between the turbine and the compressor.

more resaonable IMO

It's the same 3D they showed us last year !? they just added the pipes and a different admission plenum and an ES.
How is the compressor fed?

That would make the sidepods higher than the drivers head at the back if the car. Can't see that happening

I dont think so. Anyway, dont focus on the dimensions, that's a rough photoshop, focus on the angles : P
Ferrari is rumored to have almost vertical pipes.

Newey and Renault disagree apparently.

: fold them completely to the intake manifold, maybe that s the Ferrari solution...

I think we wont see any 2014 car with those kind of exhaust.

your type? or the mega overhead exhaust manifold the Ferrari sketch and Ferrari Scarbs dream sketch show (or do you mean your pshop is that?)...

I think the low and rel. wide Renault type of exhaust manifold is tailored for RB and all other have to live with it.

I mean the exhausts Renault are showing us since the beginning...
Maybe they are an early basic version Renault used in the bench and just covered them with CF because they are ugly : P

we will find out definitely in Australia when we will get some images of the cars assembly...

I don't get how air gets in the turbo

The Merc ? me too. in their early render, the compressor was directly connected to the inlet box...
