Beam wing? Surely it directs most of it down to the far ends of the diffuser?
I thought that was the whole point of the tunnel, to keep the exhaust gases stuck onto the bodywork all the way down to the rear tire inside.
"We came out with a car which had flashes of pace," Newey told Servus TV. "Sebastian won in Bahrain, Mark [Webber] won in Monaco. But we didn't have the level of consistency we wanted, and as an engineer that was very frustrating because the truth is we didn't properly understand the car and what was happening.
"We made a step at Valencia and then we made a further step in Singapore and that gave us that purple patch where Sebastian won four on the trot which really set up the Championship challenge."
There have been a number on this thread. Also check F1fanatic. (sorry, dont know how to re post the articles!)ringo wrote:Speculation indeed.
It doesn't really add up. Especially the front wing wake part.
The modern wings flow diffeent to that image in the link. The sidepod flow is also very different since the barge boards by the cockpit are present.
As for beam wing stalling, i'm not sure what the tips are. the beam wing has enplates, and the vorteces coming of the beam wing is minimal compared to the rear wing. The flow is very uniform.
Secondly stalling the outermost parts is very dificult.
Do we have any images of the DDRS system from redbull?
This drawing is almost certainly simply traced from a side view image of Lotus's car. Simply grab a vector graphics app and trace the RB8, and you're there.sof1jou wrote:Hello at all

This post was back June 9, when the Red Bull wheel bearing holes were discussed. The comment "We are missing some detail in this story." has stuck in my mind for all this time, and I have a theory on another intended use.hardingfv32 wrote:It would SEEM completely legitimate to have a duct that cools the wheel bearings. This would not be a brake duct. Cooling the wheel bearings would be a valid 'primary' use for such flow. To say aero is the 'primary' use seems like a stretch. Do we have anything to demonstrate how it would be an aero benefit.
We are missing some detail in this story.
