Toro Rosso STR9 Renault

[Ferraripilot]

It's not that overly tight, it's not as if all heat is being ducted out of one exit next to the exhaust pipes as Mclaren and Lotus have done, while Ferrari have their heat exit just below the exhaust at either side of the side pods. Rather, Toro Rossa have open ducts just in front of the rear suspension that are pretty large as well as ducts next to the exhaust pipe. With the resources they have I'm sure this is a good job. I expect Red Bull to have a single heat exit like the other large teams

How is that possibly going to last more than one lap in any race?
This is the one that will make them consider changing the rule before we even get to Catalunya.

Scopless front wheels are not new

better look again, the scoop is mounted extremely low

enough space in the monkeyseat area, they'll 'impale' the monkey from behind

If TR guys can pack Renault power unit this tight, I wonder what Newey made with RB10.

That doesn't look promising for non-RB fans.

you neglected to mention the huge gaping inlet they needed presumably to cool the turbo, just under the airbox inlet.

would you not agree that that will be pretty draggy in a place you would least like drag to occur?
would you also not agree the that seems like the need excessive cooling airflow for the renault engine? i havent seen that elsewhere.

the airbox itself is smaller then usual, the actual 'larger' size of the box isn't that much larger then before, and last year
the double 'airboxes' would take some drag too. it's negliable

apart from that, you can see the driver's helmet covers a lot of that area - quite frankly, that's normal. even though on the studio shots i still think the driver position seems unrealistically high, but who knows.

Nope that´s just a winglet.

+1. you're right.

all this toro rosso backside enjoyment makes me very curious about the macca, ferrari and williams butt.

in front of the rear wheels there are still the exhaust gasses conditioner from 2013, not present in the studio shots

[turbof1]

There are a lot of small details that are different. The front brake ducts is another example. I wouldn't look too much at the studio pictures imo.

Is that an f1 car? Or is it a sex toy?

actually it looks like it's meant to direct/stabilize air through the wheel scoops/winglet

[Holm86]

Taking into account how cold it is at Jerez how big will that nose be when they get to hotter places??
