That is a gorgeous piece of engineering. The caliper mounts look tiny for what they have to deal with!

Man that is pornographic. Love a good hub. Thats going straight into the spank-bank

What is the purpose of the "missing tooth" gear on the wheel peg locating flange ?

[autogyro]

I think there is a disk and calliper that goes on before the wheel.

Could be for a wheel speed sensor, or something along that line of gadgetry.

On the Speed broadcast today for Q2 they closed the show with a short series shots of mechanics at work on cars. One shot was a mechanic working under the Red Bulls and low and behold, you could CLEARLY see the double diffuser inlet. If you still have it go back and pause it. Pretty interesting and it is visually simpler than I had imagined. Of course this is only one angle of it, but you can see a nice blending of the inner strakes with the inlets and the notching of the lower section to form the inlet area.

So all you aero freaks out there, go check it out! I cannot believe they got that footage.

Anyone get a screen capture for those of us without DVR??

mmm, would like to see a closeup with the disk fitted , can "picture" the caliper. No need for bigger bolts (studs) They just hold the caliper agains the flat mounting surface , which takes all the strain

It might be the catching end of a wheelgun in which teeth from wheelgun "fit" into!

I know it's a bit late, but I remember last race in Turkey they had low-drag endplates. Anyone have photos of THOSE?

The disk has to go on first.
How about a shock and torque levelling mounting for the disk.
They have had lots of problems with the carbon disks breaking after all.

That's exactly what it is.

Still, how is the disk fitted ? No "normal" disk bell?
