Red Bull RB11 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.

STR9 style rads/intercooler layout but wtf, the intercooler now seems to be placed even further from the turbo. the pipe connecting both looks very long

Don't think so you can see part of the exhaust low down right side of the picture I believe.

I think those are just hydrolic conections for the DRS.

It's more likely hydraulics for the DRS activation system.

More tubular exhausts. They have more room now since they're not squeezed by the inter-cooler and the big sidepod air ductlike last year... but they are still minuscule.
