Renault R31

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.

Really big, especially coupled with the two cooling scoops alongside the snorkel.

Those front wing endplates are funky though.

Ps. Again I feel really bad for this, but with that mans hand being placed as it is it really makes Kubica's nose look as big as the Renaults!

Do they have something like a splitter with attached barge boards or channels?

Renault probably shoved the KERS batteries there.

Nothing new about the splitter concept. The R30 had the same since Sepang 2010 and other teams copied it.
