Red Bull RB15

Yeah, the RB15 has very, very high inner wishbone mounts compared to everyone else.

Camera mounted on the lower wishbone of RB15's suspension. Possibly measuring the deflection of the brake duct at varying speeds.

Could this be something related with the rumor of vibrations? Perhaps they are trying to make the rear more rigid.

Jeez once you learn one thing you apply it to everything, so how about those bargeboards, side wings and rear wings flying off on the other cars, are they due to vibration as well perhaps? It's just that RB15's diffuser or side connection is too fragile requiring re-design that's it.

What? It very much is an outlet, it's as clear as day to see from the rear.

Yeah...do some people not explore and look at other pics but only judge from one studio pic? On that studio pic it's shadow cast over it which makes it look like opening but it's not, opening is on the rear and also on some day they ran without the duct but with bulged cover.

Not so sure what do you mean and maybe I am not saying anything new but front of the outlet of the S-duct also has a small opening on the front

Shows well how the bar/cover/hoop over the s-duct opening should be acting as a venturi. More accurately... a wing gurney at the end of a duct. Sort of like:

I think the top slot over the s-duct exit is an extractor helping to pull air out of the s-duct. This will be helping the front wing work better.

I think that specific part looks very much like the force India resolution from the last 2 years (allthough I don’t think that was open).

[Big Mangalhit]

Yeah I think it is made to extract air from the front of the nose and help the air stay attached.

As for Findia I think on their case was just a steep nose cause of the regulations at the time
