Red Bull RB20

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.

I dare to say I’ve seen vertical inlets on the actual car in the livestream.
You can tell that from the couple pixels visible at this distance? :D

Maybe they forgot to put the inlets on the car. They’ll go with hammer and saw like when new sidepods arrived in 2022.

What can we actually trust on this car? It was obviously running just a few days ago looking more or less like this, but are these sidepods and engine cover just vanity panels?

I timed it and the reveal of the car lasted 2 minutes before they cut away.

Yep. Just as expected. Nothing on the upper side, nothing vertical.

if you scroll down you can see an animation without intakes like on the pictures here and if you scroll down a bit more you can see W15 style intakes on the sidepods
