What is going on around the pull rod? That does not look like typical Redbull level of detail.

It is, actually - it has to be adjustable, and in that area the smaller it is the better. I honestly do not believe that they could reduce the dimensions of that rod any further.

I think it is referring to that tape on the higher left corner... maybe it is due to some late development or some "hand made" hot air exit...

Difficult to tell as one is shot from the front and the other from the rear.

2014 RB10

Imagine if this was the actual intercooler (water-air)

Much closer to turbo, much closer to engine, smaller sidepods etc etc
Ferrari and Mercedes arent crazy nor dumb...

They are closer in 2014 blackout. And the inlet air is heat by the exhuast below. 2015 version is upstream and further.
I think we can safely say your are wrong here black out.

RB11 has "Belleville" type third shock absorber, like RB10 (but with different position and one more ring) ph Sutton

The wing now is 6-plane through most of it's chord.

A little help for the colour blind Please
What is this chin strap thing, is it a bar? or part of the crash structure?

[Just_a_fan]

It appears to be a moulding that forms part of the S-bend duct in the nose.
