Red Bull RB15

What sort of noises?

[cramr]

Do you guys think teams also blow the air through the exhaust pipes (at least through wastegate pipes) when drivers are off throttle (like cold blowing in 2010 - 2013 V8 era) to boost downforce? Some weird noises can be heard off throttle, I'm not sure is that from cold blowing or something else.

They could but I think the aerodynamic effect with the high wings is quite small.
Also keep in mind that the MGU-K will keep the turbo spinning to avoid turbo lag amoung other things.

These engines work in a very super complex way along the weekend so it could be so many things

MGU-H keeps the turbine spinning.

They were doing it and now it’s banned. I think I read that Ferrari asked for an extra race dispensation because they couldn’t get their software changed by the deadline. Don’t know if they got it.

Trackside it didn't sound like that was going on.

Could explain their issues in Silverstone

Finding the engine mode dial was easy, the white dial would be positioned toward the right. But which dial could Verstappen his race engineer have meant with position 5? I reckon the pink mode dial which seems to manage the state of charge of the electrical power system.

From the video that FOM posted on YouTube yesterday you can decipher that the 'position' dial is indeed the pink one that controls the ERS deployment. Verstappen his race engineer specifically stated a SOC change in the video clip. It would have been in SOC mode - if the numbering is ascending, more deployment presumably.

You move the dial then you select the number (position 5) using the plus 1 button (press 5 times)

I guess this could be it although this is usually communicated in plus 5 (multi-function) instead of position 5.

motorsport.com is now reporting that Red Bull is now the third team to homologate a new chassis design this year.

Do you have a link to that article?

[seense]

I don't understand why it's only the Italian version reporting the new chassis news.

Thank you @ScrewCaptain27.

Red Bull: new body to approach the Mercedes

Also in the Milton Keynes team they have approved a new chassis that bridges the 2020 machine. The goal is to extend the life of the tires to repeat the success of Austria in Germany or Hungary.

In Milton Keynes they are pushing on the accelerator to evolve the RB15. Not only has Mercedes approved a new body at Cranfield, the laboratory where the FIA ​​carries out crash tests in Great Britain.

[Wouter]

I don't understand why it's only the Italian version reporting the new chassis news.

The Mercedes news was also on MSP Italia and no where else.

[seense]

But why. It's big news if it's true. Maybe to put more pressure on Ferrari?

[HiddenIncome_]

I'd be inclined to believe the article as I think the Italian site was also the first to have the news of Buemi's Pirelli Tyre Test crash after Silverstone.
