Renault R30

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.

Sorry blackout, you're right. I'm having "one of those days" when hope for change and good news fights shi**y presence, so I get overoptimistic.

No, that holes are only for cooling and they're not new. We saw them in Sepang.

Team closed hole, so there is change in that part of the car :D What about shaped upped decker flap?

Kubica said in QA for Polish website that team has only front wing update, but for sure they optimise EBD too.

The holes are temporary. The team opens them when it's too hot...
The beam wing has always been shaped. it's the same, I think.

They modified the front wing and, AFAIK, the floor.

I think the problem is that you need to be logged in to wri2 to see the images. But don't worry, they'll be up without watermarks in a few hours.. Or just go to www.wri2.net, log in as guest, and then you'll probably be able to see the direct linked photos here =)

Yeah it's a problem with displaying photos from guest login and preview at http://www.wri2.net/ - most browsers didn't display it. Go directly there or wait some hours when those photos will be published at wri2.net clients.

Kubica tested the new FW and new brake ducts equipped with different fins

the new rear wing has more sculpted endplates than those appeared in Valencia

Kubica said that they will use older FW from Valencia, new one is a little worse than previous one.
