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.

But what i find bit strange about this photo is the rear wing.

It looks like a highspeed wing lige monza-spec.

And Red Bull didnt launch or test a highspeed wing during winter testing last year??

It's a big high downforce rear wing. If you look closely the main profile is huge with the small flap being a slightly different colour which is why you're seeing it as a monza spec wing.

The stream starts at 1pm in UK, that means in germany at 2pm! So 50 minutes to go! :wink:

Please move discussion to the RB8 thread.

Thanks.
