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.

Also looks like they've gone to a squarer roll hoop inlet after going to a full circle for the RB19
RB19 was a squircle. IIRC that also looked very square in low res pics.

From another angle:

Again, that's DR in an RB19. Keep it to RB20

What did I do again? I posted the RB19 before? I didn't.
Like I'm doing it on purpose. The Twitter user wrote that this was the RB20 from a different angle,
so I thought I would post that so that people can discover new things about the RB20.
But hey, I removed it.

You posted another pic with MV in a dark helmet, that's also RB19. It just becomes a bit confusing for people who don't know. Afaik there are no high resolution professional pics of RB20 yet.

That inlet is literally touching the top of the chassis
Edited slightly to make things clearer. Yes the inlet lower lip is very close to the top of the chassis. Significantly higher than the rb19

This looks really extreme.

But then is it an illusion because where would the driver's legs go.

Please show me my post where I did that. I can't find it. I only posted the two video's @Organic already did and I removed them.

From editor at MotorsportTV and chief editor at Motorsport TR

Red Bull has confirmed it is staging a 200km shakedown at Silverstone today.

But initial information is that this is just a "launch version". So they seem to be saving the real changes for Bahrain.

Could well be, but only if it works and if another team hasn't struck on a development
path Newey hasn't considered that yields big gains. He's a genius but it's why he goes around cars with a clipboard taking
notes at races.

The nose, the engine cover, the rear wing, all looks like the RB19. Just remove it and it'll be less confusing for all.

Not sure how reliable this journalist is but red bull have obviously done this in the past. In '22 for instance the car was radically changed on the final day of preseason testing

Looks indeed a very small SP inlet (15 to 17 seconds into video). I also don't see an underlip anymore, but maybe that is just the blurriness.
