Red Bull RB10 Renault

Cascadeless FW for Monza;

[gandharva]

At least the upper flap of the rearwing is present. ^^

This car looks really beautiful w/ these new wings!!!

In Monza GP Redbull use a flat nose

Since when are they using disc springs on the Front heave element?
And interestingly it seems to be a progressive one. I thought that they would use a degressive spring assembly .

Disc springs have a smaller size for the same loads.
Not sure though what you mean about the degressive vs progressive assembly.

And they are way easier to set up properly. I just asked, because it is the first time I've seen them in a F1 car.

regarding the progressive springrate, I just thought that you want a rather soft spring at a certain load. But on second thought it would be not that great/simple since the aerodynamic loads increase with the power of 2.

I remember seeing Minardi running them on the rear suspension. That's a few years ago...

belleville washers/springs are nice because it's very easy to make spring rate adjustments with minimal extra parts. also check out Hyperco. it's possible, even likely, that these are carbon fiber, making them much lighter than conventional coils.

regarding its progressiveness, if i wanted to have a particular spring rate curve, i'd likely try to do it with linkage geometry. digressive springing is tricky, having a highly preloaded spring on top of another...

That video is wonderful for showing how a bellows spring doesn't create sideload on the damper shaft like a traditional coil. It also shows the new carbon sprlings for anyone who hasn't seen them yet. The picture above could well be using the carbon Hyperco springs.

From what I was hearing the RB10 floor is incredibly efficient at generating down-force, thus allowing Riccardo to carry high speed out of the parabolica and ended up setting the highest speed trap during the race IIRC. Clearly the rear wing and front wings were modified to reduce drag, so I guess my question is: what is RBR doing with their floor that makes it so much better?

[Just_a_fan]

If the RedBull was so "incredibly efficient" then they'd be winning all of the races. The RedBull doesn't have the downforce margin that it enjoyed in the EBD days. Indeed, they probably have little, if any, more downforce than the Mercedes this season.
