Red Bull RB6

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.

From the little iv seen the car seems to be in the same spec as the last 2 tests.

Somem teams are going to have big steps coming into Bahrain so its pretty important we are not standing still.
Webbo did indicate that there was some new aero bits though no note as to what they were. Looking at the pic link below it looks like the lower element of the rear wing is now tapered along the leading edge but I'm not sure about that. Other than that I didn't spot any differences.

They are prolly subtle tweaks and under the hood stuff.

The RS30 must be a jet engine.

The beam wing on the pic with the new engine cover looks different too. It lacks the "indent" which the other one had.

Waw !

And the diffuser's sides are new. (a mclaren like sides)
The center is also different

The front wing is also quite different from that we saw in Jerez; the holes in the end-plates are bigger and more rectangular

Wow the exhausts exits are so low on that baby! Brilliant work by the Milton Keynes based squad.

I wonder if other teams will copy the mailbox, it was no secret, but nobody else other then STR has it I don't think.

2000th post.

Not a great one mind you, but not my worst by far ;)

What the heck... the forum counts from 1999 to 1960?
