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.

You got it! It's standard, allows the tank to vent, stops anything going in.

Formula None -> On your diffuser pic, it's more a foil than a Gurney on the top of the diffuser. You can really see the gap now under that thing, and it's really shaped like a foil. Interesting technique to extract a maximum of air from the diffuser!

Mark's Front wing was actually bouncing off the track. How can some people say it doesn't flex! :lol:

It was absolutely clear on the super slow-mo "front wing analysis" shots... No other wings move as much.

No, no, no! Not the old flexi wing arguments again!. The wing flexes, the wing is legal. Get over it and move on!
