Yes. Left side is flat horizontal, right side has some sweep to it. I'm curious as to how they obtain data from it (perhaps with cameras to examine the vortices?)RicerDude wrote:https://twitter.com/ScarbsF1/status/308 ... 36/photo/1
Are they different RW endplates on each side?

And look at the bottom. Right hand is louvered whilst left hand has a single vane. Or am i seeing wrong?RB7ate9 wrote:Yes. Left side is flat horizontal, right side has some sweep to it.

The left hand side doesnt have a vane, its a mounting for the huge sensor array behind the diffuser.gilgen wrote:And look at the bottom. Right hand is louvered whilst left hand has a single vane.

Uhhm nope, it was never disallowed nor did anyone within F1. The Red Bull also never failed pre or post race inspection, so yes it is legal.McG wrote: Ugh you're annoying. Yes it was.
At no point did the FIA rule on the legality or illegality of RedBull's broken nose. However, the car did complete a race like that and was not ruled illegal, so that rather suggests that if it wasn't damage, it was legalMcG wrote:Ugh you're annoying. Yes it was.
I seem to remember that the FIA in fact stated that there was nothing wrong with the flexible skin on the nose. But it should be remembered that the camera mounting was damaged, and the mechanics were holding the nose by the mounts. These gave the appearance that there was considerably flexing of the nose cone, when in fact, it was only movement of the mounts that was visible.beelsebob wrote:At no point did the FIA rule on the legality or illegality of RedBull's broken nose.

The nose was broken, it wasn't made of rubber or flexing or whatever.McG wrote:wesley123 wrote:Ugh you're annoying. Yes it was.McG wrote:

And they have it already, I saw the front wing oscillating all over the place when going over the chicane, very similar to last year.Maxion wrote:As seen in SkySports Ted's Notebook Day 4 from the last test in Barcelona, Red Bull seems to be employing a system with two laser beams and a camera to monitor flex on their front wing end-plates. So it looks like even with the new tests for stiffness red bull are wanting to have some flex in the wing.
