I'm pretty sure that's been on the RB for some time, although perhaps the ridge was not as high before.ringo wrote:

The Ferrari isn't doing anything of what the Red Bull system is doing. All they're doing is blowing exhaust gas around and over the diffuser. Red Bull are doing something more complex that we're only just beginning to see on here.n smikle wrote:Mclaren should have just copied the REdBull straight up! Don't try to reinvent the blown diffuser! hehe... Notice that Ferrari changed their exhaust more akin to the RedBull and it seems to be working.
It's the last piece in he jigsaw and they have got it working far earlier than I expected. Straight line speeds from both Red Bulls are much improved and the places where they can actually use the F-duct through corners is bizarre. Now that Red Bull have the downforce it's given them a whole area of development in which to try and minimise the drag penalty of all of that downforce. It's proved easier to get working for them than exhaust blown diffusers have for other teams at any rate so their development logic has proved very correct.BreezyRacer wrote:IIt looks like RB have a good handle on the Fduct now, after performances here today.
Whoa...hold on, they were using flow viz on the blown wing, surely something is fundamentally wrong with their design then..segedunum wrote:It's the last piece in he jigsaw and they have got it working far earlier than I expected.
