Amazing tweet.



<Mod edit, that tweet alone is meh, it is the other tweets below in the twitter thread that actually make it amazing.>

The Mirrors are certainly interesting. Makes me wonder, just how much of a leeway are there for mirror aerodynamics.

Have you seen the Merc?

I guess they mean the rules around the mirror housing/fairing rather than the mirror mounting (which is what merc are using to great effect)

Anyway I'd say RB's mirrors aren't that special among the grid.

I agree that I don't really see anything that special in the mirror. They and others have been doing these double vaned legality panels for years.

Yeah, it's amazing that FIA haven't done something about them given that 'they go against the spirit of the regulations'...

Low downforce wing. Was the medium load at Austria so maybe a sign that for the current spec they need to reduce rear downforce

RB have done the least amount of wing work of any team. They seem to have gotten their wing targets correct from the beginning whereas Merc/Ferrari have had to develop replacement wings to react to RB.

Scarbs or anyone. Could you idemtify the centreline coolers?

[shady]

does anyone know the reason for the stand in pads/rotor on the caliper?

[PhillipM]

Stop the pistons getting pushed out accidentally or during bleeding.

Is this what you wanted?

Wanted to know which are water radiators, oil cooler, intercooler etc.

Just taking an educated stab from vague recollections:
The intercooler itself will not be visible since it's a liquid cooler nested between the turbo and the intake at the front of the engine (so basically like a Merc). The cooler in center in the picture above is likely the heat exchanger for the intercooler. The engine water coolers are likely in the sidepods.

It looks like 6 cores in one part.

What are the parts which needs cooling ?
Mgu-h ( maybe most important part from cooling wise both of oil and cooling water I think )
Engine's itself as block
Engine head ( maybe coolind and oilig separately these 2 parts ( head and block) more reliable and more efficient )
Oil
Air inducted to engine.

They have two sets of channels stacked, Hot water enters at the top, on the other side is a helder that puts the liquid in the lower channels and the cool liquid comes from the lower manifold. Thats quite common in het exchangers

There are 3 liquids running through different sections. The top one is low pressure (i guess intercooler coolant), the lower are high pressure. So likely oil or fuel. Might i guess gearbox oil and fuel? Engine oil cooling would be low on the car and the lower section of the top cooler is closest to the gearbox, the middle section piping sugests fuel return.
