RB20 speculation

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.

Is it me or does the engine sound have a higher pitch than previous years?
They have renamed the engine this year to RBPTH002 from RBPTH001 the previous two seasons, could suggest there are some upgrades. Maybe just running it harder.

As for the w14-like engine cover gutters..

Rb19 already received something along the lines at Hungary 2023, no?

In these RB20 shots they are much higher up and the bend at the end is more pronounced, which reminds me more of W14 than what they ran last season.

Organic already posted both those videos previously, that's what I meant.

Okay, maybe not "much higher up", but the shape looks different. Look at where the Honda logos are relative to one another.

In my eyes definitely a more pronounced and longer W14 like channel. The bulge between the channel and the sidepods seems to be gone too. Looks like a smoother surface.
Also a bigger undercut and tighter sidepods.

Upon review I agree looks different

Looking at the sidepods I feel like they could have a waterslide towards the rear of them, much like the amr24 - marked where it might begin with blue

Pretty sure that pic is RB19.
