Red Bull RB13 TAG Heuer

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.

Red Bull launched the RB13 about 19 hours before testing. Why not just do a proper launch in Barcelona in the pit lane 30mins before testing. Some rubbish fake pictures the day before makes no sense whatever way you look at it.

All in all, its just a big disappointment. As I think everyone was looking forward to the launch. A big anticlimax, hope their performance isn't the same, otherwise Lewis will probably walk the title again.
I guess they are trying to cheat us, like they always try.

I am sure that they will make Lewis suffer a little bit, and Ferrari too(hopefully).

While i agree it does look basic i'm really asking myself why People expect Merc level of Aero shenanigans on a Red Bull Car. Did no one watch the last Seasons? RB and Mercedes have vastly different philosophies when it comes to Aero.

Newey is the Master of Basic.

Interesting temperature dissipation bumps on the rear wheels.

They were behind the wheel spokes previously iirc, but perhaps they have to run a lower offset with the wider wheels and have had to move some of the bumps to the outside.

great catch, i thought it was hollow and that proves it!

Brilliant concept to "get the low nose more out of the way". =D>

There we go, new images! Thanks guys :)

I've spotted something that catched my eye:

Whats the purpose of this little flappy thingy, seems just a 'normal' winglet, although at the rear of this little winglet there seems to be an opening of some sort?
