That is amazingly tight, is it a render? Or a real photo?

maybe its not cooling issue instead following Red Bull approach.

Lotus and Williams don't seem to have any cooling issues..

Don't you think, they just need to check efficiency of more powerful cooling solution for the hot races in Asia?

That underbody shot is a good catch.

Don't mean much anyway, Mclaren and FI had no ongoing cooling issues last year while the works team had all sorts of problems and this year they are running what can only be described as deep fried sidepods.

RB7 gearbox with the 2011 Red Bull/Renault 60hp boost KERS-Lite that Red Bull used last year.

The back of the Caterham is essenncially the same championship winning one as last year. Worth roughly a 7 tenths gain.

Caterham have 11 Red Bull guys embedded into the team for running the Gearbox and they have 9 guys for running the KERS system. They have 20 Red Bull guys running all their equiptment.

The only thing that isnt 100% red bull is the suspension wishbones, wheel hub and pull rod designs, they are Caterham designed.
