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.

Rear wing - simplicity. Just look at the height.

Similar versions used in Monza last year. The Spa version from 2012 was higher with three diagonal louvers.

Also, the nose is different. Much higher and pointy.

No pics of the new nose ? No more going downwards on the new nose, much more square like Merc nose.

The new diffuser is very similar to Mercedes one. Last version is much similar to Lotus

Being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, competing to win...

Yes, apparently it has passed FIA crash test in order to homologate for the race. Extensive revamp up and down the chassis, probably the last push before the development stops. It just shows how much are they ready to invest in order to stay on top. :shock:
