Red Bull RB8 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 on some way working like double diffuser, with specific channel they directed air from sidepods in diffuser, now air doesn't go by himself in diffuser area, but it was forced, and now car have consistant downforce
