Red Bull RB7 Renault

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.

I almost wish my Wife didn't have a little Lass due at the end of April as I'd be over to Melbourne like a shot! :(

Presumably you're not a real Aussie then. Letting something like that get in the way of a sporting event? :wink: :lol:

Beautiful tail! Thank you zgred!!

Being a vehicle dynamics layman I need to ask the round in this ingenious forum....:

RB's rear suspension layout seems completely different to the other teams.
Upper wishbones mounted forward on upright, lower wishbones meet the uprights at their rear end. This looks really sophisticated and much more stable and controllable than having the mounts central and vertically in line.

What's the exit in the central section on either side of the crash structure below the beam wing? They have a gaping bass-mouth hot-air exit above...I'm surprised they'd need even more cooling exits!

Looks like their take on Renault's exhaust that exits right above the diffuser at around the same spot
