Red Bull RB10 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.

They are sticking with the same curvature, even moreso this year with less aero assistance from elements such as beamwings and blown diffusers.

I think its to color of the blue paint. No other car has used it. No other car has been some dominate in the last 5 years. :roll: I also have not been proven otherwise. That makes my theory fact!
It's true, the williams Newey designed was blue too, and it won lots! Also, it had lots of ellipses.

Hi Ringo.

I'm not sure if it was yourself or another member who posted at length about this and included some flow images comparing different side pod shapes using a small CFD program. It sort of reminds me of the development of stealth technology, in which the F-117A was pioneering in the use of faceted surfaces. Later with better understanding and advancements in design the concept evolved from faceted surfaces to 'continuous curvature' on the B-2 and subsequent stealth programs.

As the RB9, the RB10's diffuser has a curl on the edge too. Except for the Marussia MR03, no curl for others teams at moment

It looks a bit confusing that they linked the detailed picture of the front suspension to rear suspension on the car itself. Formatting constraints I guess. :wink:

Lots of rake still. Less than 2013 for sure, but not by much.

Please note the car threads are for discussing the actual features of the car. Testing chatter will be moved to the testing thread. :arrow: http://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewto ... ead#unread

As far as I am aware the RB10 does not have a red flag, it would fail the rules about secure bodywork!

Is it just me or does the car have a huge amount of camber on the front right - almost looks like it's failed?
