Red Bull RB11 Renault

New bodywork? It seems to be tighter at the point where the airbox shape at it's widest point meets the sidepod. Previously there was some horizontal surface at that area, now it just flows into the sidepod side surface.

comparision of the engine covers (unfortunately not exactly the same angle)...
Maybe anybody have a better one

Canada:


Bahrain:


In that comparison it somehow seems the engine cover got bigger...

[Blackout]

They"ve sculpted them a bit
Edit

And the bodywork around the airbox bull looks wider

[wesley123]

That looks like a pretty big reduction in size. Engine cover seems to be wider as well, although that might be an illusion.

Did Renault spend any points this for this weekend?

The back is tighter. It's not wider at the top. It's the relative difference between the top and bottom of the side pod that is giving that impression. It looks like they are really pushing the aero. It's a shame the engine doesn't have much power.

Engine cover is definitely wider, a little like the Mercedes design. The side pod now has a dent in it a la McLaren, I presume to transfer top flow down the sides and into the coke bottle.

[Sevach]

I think they are looking for some coanda benefits like Ferrari.

RBRs new rear end, from the back.


And top/side.

[OO7]

They have also opened up the side pod cooling outlets at the rear.

Comparison New bodywork vs old

[PlatinumZealot]

Possible cooling improvements / new radiators / new arrangement.
