Red Bull RB8 Renault

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.

Not new, just a different angle than we've seen

Yeah, I thought the same looking at the previous pictures as well. The step on the nose looks also smaller from this angle. Change or just this shot fooling my eyes?

Just after the 'tunnel' inlet is there another tunnel opening now? Looks like the top of the side pod never makes it to the floor or at least it happens behind the leading edge of the tire. Is this a correct view?

Is the nose lower than Barcelona or is that just the angle of the shot?
