Red Bull RB9 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.

Even it is old part, I was in fact right - it was copied by others. My senses was right, thats it.

In fact the pure design always look good for the human eye. It's the same like in nature - e.g. Golden Cut. And this is why the RB9 is for me ugly.

Yep, teams copied Red Bull before Red Bull applied it themselves.

Very weird, I can´t find any pictures of it... the bottom edge of the turning vanes was all perforated, im surprised no one saw and took pictures of it!

Is redbull getting ready for DRD? the slit in the engine cover seems consistent with a leaving the space for a periscope pipe.

Lovely as all the new bits are, they are pointless if you are stopping once more than those challenging for wins.

I dont know why they produce new bits, which are pointless because they already have superior downforce :roll: maybe they should work on how to understand tires instead :?

After the blown axles were closed for FP2 yesterday, today Vettel has reverted to the normal, non-blown axles.

It´s pissing me off that I cant find any pictures of the under nose turning vanes with holes in them... and I cant even find fp2 to download, so I can screenshot it!
