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.

This will certainly help teams understand the RB7, but the RB8 will most probably not be a carbon copy of the RB7, so at best it might enable other teams to come closer to the RedBull, but not beat them just by blatantly copying different parts of the car.

By the way, I'm pretty sure Horner and Newey are pretty pissed with Mark Webber for binning the car at such a stupid place. It was all his fault for overshooting the corner thx to the wing jammed under the car.

They must have expected the car to crash at some point.

smikle, I think what Mandrake meant was that they were pissed Webber binned it in Monza, rather than just the fact that Webber binned it.

Correct Sir :)

Although it apparently happened again in Japan....is that a new trend in F1? Send your engineers to danegrous corners and pick up the leftovers from the competition?

McLaren now have a new FW as well, if it flexes or resembles the RB7 wing in a way the new Ferrari wing does, I bet in Japan McLaren took home that wing ;)

It's one thing to take a look in the paddock and copy it, but it's another thing to steal fragments and debris, no?

More like the spirit of protecting your wing from Ferrari!

surely that has to be theft and therefore a criminal act. :!:

Looks like RBR is running a slightly new FW for India.

Was their new front wing not the one with the long, blade-like cascade wing?

I believe I'm wrong, mistaken. After closer look, I believe it's the same wing as Korea. My apologies.

Does anyone have proof Ferrari stole a broken Red Bull wing at Monza, or just a nebulous Horner quote?(We know how reliable those are)

:?: hmm
Whatever it is, it's tied on to the radiator front mesh using chicken wire and it has a black rod/cable connected on the left side.
