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.

Seeing this video from 0.06-0.11, why is the main plane fluttering? Or am I seeing things? Is the drs fluid spurting out in small quantities each time. The wing flutters and as it slows down it's amplitude picks up again.sort of modulated...

Kvyat's crash shows you how sturdy the rear wing central mount is as it completely survived along with the main plane even after a huge hit.

Red Bull RB11 - revised turning vanes

Both Red Bull cars raced in Suzuka with these new turning vanes (main drawing), which were used only by Kvyat at the last round in Singapore - where Ricciardo drove with the previous version (inset).

As you can see, the new version has a more twisted vertical shape (upper right arrow), while the floor section is angled upwards more steeply at the rear. Note also the different position and shape of the horizontal connection between the two turning vanes (centre arrow). Kvyat carried out a back-to-back test of the two different floors on Friday. The changes are designed to improve airflow under the car and hence boost downforce.

Interesting just how much RB sculpts the floor surface through the thickness compared to most teams.
