Red Bull RB13 TAG Heuer

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.

Looking forward to see Red Bull's upgrades this weekend. Expecting minor detail changes, as always, but interesting none the less.

To be honest most "big" upgrades this year turned out to be a few tweaks with perhaps something new. We'll have to see what they bring but as of now I am containing my excitement.

Well, they've decoupled the much stiffer endplate from the flaps, so they can pivot around the front mounting, simple and clever, as it also lets high pressure air spill sideways as the gap opens to the vertical endplate.
They have this since Barcelona tests. Maybe they could not use it fully until they clawed back the loss of the trick-suspension?

They have added this to reduce the flexing apparently

I think the angles are too different to accurately compare, use the Rousch logo as a reference point.

Also notice rousch and mobil logo are in reverse so somone snapped the other side of the car and mirrored.

Not a good tool to identify a few degrees of movement, HOWEVER, I'm not disagreeing with the assessment of flexing in that area.

I have not figured out how to post tweets over phone, but they did change the inlet profile and the sidepod turning vanes from the photos I've seen.
