Red Bull RB15

[Singabule]

We should see these openings shrink a bit, then ?

I expect that as well, on top of exhaust area

Any more pictures of the new front wing or other changed parts?

Red Bull probará mañana 2 configuraciones aero. Gasly con ala d menos carga, Verstappen con más carga tipo Australia.

google translate:

Red Bull will test tomorrow 2 aero configurations. Gasly with D-wing less load, Verstappen with more cargo type Australia.

The most telling sign is the DRS actuator arm (is is longer (higher) on the Verstappen wing).

Actual translation Red Bull will try 2 different aero configurations for Friday. Gasly with a low downforce rear wing, Verstappen with the Australia spec rear wing.

I feel like they should have more openings than just that? Maybe it doesn’t need it but I’m surprised. The w10 has some nice vent slots around the same area. Hopefully the rb15 stays cool enough.

I thought I had read that RB will test two frontwings. Mentioned above suggests that it will be the entire Aero package? Or am I wrong?

The question is, is that actually a new wing or the "Montreal spec" that they tested in pre-season testing.

Is it for cooling? or dual purpose and create a boundary layer, perhaps to attach to the rear wing to make it more effective?

It's for cooling, as it has always been in Bahrain. If it did any good for downforce they'd use it all the time.

Is an opening like that, in that location, very detrimental aero wise or not too large of a deal? I know it's not optimum, but if it's a substantial detriment it says to me possibly the cooling is a larger concern than I thought.

Didn't Mercedes have this previous race? Vents in previous years look like grates with slats or multiple gills more on the side pontoons. Did RB14 have this single gill last year? If this acted like a duct then it would in my mind be a way to smooth the air coming around the halo.
