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.

I don't think so.
Looking at the RB10's engine cover when on car, there is a separate bodywork section that sits after the engine cover.

How does this work?
Image
From the post immediately above where there are more pictures of it.
I had assumed the air scoop would lead the cold air down to the hub edge of the carbon brake disk & that air would then be centrifuged through the radial holes in the disk & be led outwards into the inside of the wheel. There hot air ex the brakes is used to heat the wheel rim, tire & the nitrogen inside the tire.
But this seems to be feeding cool air to the outside of the brake disk. So how does it function?
Looking at it again - are there two air inlets? Is the duct to the outside of the disk fed by a separate air inlet just alongside (to left in picture) of the big air inlet scoop?
'--------------------
After posting this I came across this picture in the Williams thread. There is probably another piece of ducting yet to be fitted to lead that air onto the caliper.

I like this. Gold leaf to protect the sponsor's paint job I assume.

Yes it is. They run almost flat coolers like McLaren the past 2 years and have room under the intercooler to put the exhausts.

Look at the details (yellow circles). The green part is even more interesting. I think it allows the upper 3 elements on the outer side of the wing to flex downwards on high speeds and it comes up again on low speed. Per default the outer part is set up a bit higher (adjustable by the 2 screws i suppose) to support low speed front downforce. Nice stuff!
